A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and softly rounded stroke endings. The letterforms rely on simple geometric construction—oval counters, narrow bowls, and clean vertical stems—with minimal contrast and a steady rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly squashed horizontally, while joins stay uncomplicated, giving the alphabet a streamlined, poster-like presence. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic with clear, open shapes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its tall, narrow proportions can add sophistication without crowding layouts. It works well for posters, packaging, and branding that want a retro or boutique feel, and for signage where a condensed footprint is helpful. For extended reading, it is more comfortable at larger sizes where the slim strokes and tight forms remain distinct.
The overall tone feels distinctly vintage and display-oriented, with an Art Deco–leaning elegance. Its slim, elongated silhouettes create a refined, slightly playful voice that reads as stylish and theatrical rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to offer a streamlined, vintage-inflected display sans that combines condensed efficiency with rounded, inviting details. Its controlled geometry and decorative narrowness suggest a focus on stylish titling and identity work rather than neutral text setting.
Spacing and widths appear uneven by design, producing a lively, hand-drawn-influenced cadence while still feeling controlled and consistent. The roundness at terminals and counters softens the condensed geometry, helping longer lines retain a friendly, approachable texture.
