A tall, narrow-leaning sans with squared, rounded-corner geometry and prominent vertical stems. The design uses contrasting stroke behavior: weight concentrates in the verticals while horizontals and joints often taper to finer hairlines, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters are rectangular and compact, terminals are mostly flat, and curves resolve as soft radiused corners rather than true bowls. Overall spacing and proportions favor a vertical, poster-friendly texture with distinctive, slightly mechanical letterforms.
Best suited to display settings where its tall proportions and vertical contrast can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding wordmarks, packaging titles, and signage. It can also work for short technical labels or UI headings when a retro-industrial flavor is desired, but the distinctive contrast and narrow counters favor larger sizes.
The font conveys an Art Deco–inflected, architectural tone with a utilitarian edge. Its high-contrast vertical emphasis reads as sleek and confident, suggesting signage, machinery labeling, and vintage display typography rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to blend geometric sans construction with Deco-era display drama, using vertical weight emphasis and squared counters to produce a strong, compact silhouette. It prioritizes stylized clarity and identity over neutral body-text regularity.
Several forms show deliberate asymmetries and idiosyncratic details (notably in diagonals and junctions), which adds character at large sizes. The numerals follow the same squared, condensed language, with clear differentiation between similar shapes through angular cuts and open apertures.
