A tall, condensed sans with a consistent single-stroke feel and softly rounded terminals throughout. Forms are built from narrow verticals and gently curved joins, giving counters a long, pill-like geometry and keeping curves restrained rather than fully circular. The rhythm is vertical and even, with generous interior white space relative to stroke and an overall light footprint. Numerals and letters share the same narrow proportions and rounded finishing, creating a cohesive, streamlined texture in text.
Works best for headlines, titles, and short-to-medium text where its tall, narrow proportions can add sophistication and save horizontal space. It suits branding and packaging that want a retro-modern voice, as well as signage and labels where a clean, streamlined look is desired.
The typeface reads as retro-modern and architectural, with an Art Deco–leaning elegance driven by its height and narrowness. Rounded ends soften the geometry, adding a friendly, slightly playful tone without losing a clean, composed demeanor. Overall it feels stylish and understated, suited to designs that want character while staying minimal.
Likely intended to offer a condensed, characterful sans for display typography, combining a minimal monoline structure with rounded endings to evoke a refined, vintage-inflected mood. The consistent geometry and restrained shapes suggest a focus on clarity and stylistic cohesion in contemporary layouts.
In running text the condensed width creates a strong vertical cadence and clear word shapes, while the rounded terminals keep dense lines from feeling harsh. The design’s simplicity and uniform stroke behavior emphasize silhouette and spacing over contrast or detail, making it visually distinctive at display sizes.
