A condensed serif with monoline strokes and crisp, squared curves that read as softly rounded rectangles rather than fully circular bowls. Serifs are small and flared, with wedge-like terminals that give vertical strokes a slightly engraved, chiseled feel. Counters are tight and geometric, and many letters emphasize straight sides with minimal curvature, creating an orderly, engineered rhythm. The numerals follow the same rectilinear logic with compact forms and neat, squared openings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a condensed, geometric serif can create a distinctive period flavor. It can also work for short blocks of text—such as pull quotes, menus, or signage—when a controlled, architectural texture is desired and generous spacing is available.
The overall tone is streamlined and retro, evoking Art Deco signage and interwar-era modernism. Its disciplined geometry feels architectural and precise, while the subtle flares keep it from becoming purely mechanical. The result is decorative but controlled—suited to designs aiming for a refined vintage-modern voice.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif cues with a geometric, sign-painterly structure, delivering a compact display face with a clear Deco-inspired silhouette. Its terminals and squared curves suggest an aim toward legibility at size while keeping a stylized, constructed personality.
The face maintains strong vertical emphasis and consistent stroke endings across both cases, producing a steady texture in text lines despite its display-oriented stylization. Rounded corners are restrained and squared-off, which helps preserve sharpness at larger sizes and reinforces the font’s constructed, grid-friendly character.
