A tall, condensed display face with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are crisp and straight, while curves are drawn with rounded, slightly squarish terminals that give bowls and counters a soft-rectangular feel. Many forms show a distinctive ‘pinched’ waist and elongated joins, producing a lively rhythm in text. The lowercase has generous ascenders/descenders and compact apertures, and the numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast construction with elegant curves and fine hairlines.
Best suited to headlines, short subheads, and identity work where its condensed footprint and stylized construction can be appreciated. It can work for editorial display settings, packaging, and event posters, especially when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone feels Art Deco–leaning and theatrical: sleek, refined, and slightly dramatic. Its narrow proportions and sculpted curves evoke vintage poster lettering and boutique branding, with an upscale, curated mood rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge condensed display economy with a decorative, high-contrast silhouette, emphasizing vertical elegance and a signature rounded-rectangular curve language. It aims to deliver a recognizable, vintage-tinged personality while remaining readable in short text runs.
Texture in running text is strongly vertical, with noticeable contrast-driven sparkle at larger sizes. Round letters (like O/C/e) read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles, and several glyphs use distinctive, stylized joins that can become a key part of the voice in headlines.
