A tightly condensed display face built from tall, rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) stems and softly squared bowls. Strokes stay largely monolinear with subtle modulation at joins and terminals, and the shapes favor long verticals with compact counters. Curves are controlled and symmetrical, giving round letters a squarish, pill-like construction, while terminals are clean and minimally treated for a crisp silhouette. Spacing reads disciplined and vertical, producing an even, columnar rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, title sequences, packaging, and brand marks where a tall, condensed voice is an advantage. It can work for short editorial callouts or mastheads, especially when set with ample spacing and used at sizes that preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–influenced and stage-ready: sleek, dramatic, and a bit nostalgic. Its narrow build and sculpted geometry convey sophistication and confidence, with a deliberate, poster-like presence that leans more glamorous than utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive condensed display look by combining superelliptic geometry with a refined, modern finish. Its proportions and controlled curves prioritize impact and a consistent vertical rhythm over long-form readability.
The design’s strongest characteristic is its vertical emphasis—ascenders, capitals, and numerals read like tall sign lettering, and the compact interior spaces intensify color on the line. In longer settings the condensed texture becomes dense, so the face benefits from generous tracking and simpler layouts.
