A condensed sans with tall, rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes read largely uniform, with modest contrast emerging from tapered joins and tight internal counters. Terminals are smoothly finished and often slightly flared or hooked, giving several letters a distinctive, carved silhouette. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with narrow proportions, tight apertures, and consistent, engineered geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and distinctive superelliptic geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. It can work for short paragraphs at larger sizes, but the tight apertures and compact counters favor larger-scale use for maximum clarity.
The face conveys a streamlined, retro-modern mood associated with early 20th‑century display typography. Its rounded-architectural forms feel both industrial and elegant, suggesting signage, marquees, and period packaging while staying clean and contemporary in tone.
The design appears intended to deliver an Art Deco–leaning, streamlined display sans that combines geometric discipline with softened corners and expressive terminals. It aims to provide strong vertical presence and compact set width while keeping a smooth, approachable finish.
Curves tend to resolve into rounded corners rather than true circles, and many glyphs show a characteristic inward curl at terminals that adds personality without becoming ornate. Numerals share the same tall, compact stance, helping mixed text maintain an even texture.
