A sharply condensed, high-contrast sans with tall proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes favor straight, parallel uprights with hairline horizontals and tight apertures, producing a sleek, architectural silhouette. Curves are reduced to faceted, angular turns, and terminals are crisp and abrupt, with occasional pointed joins and wedge-like cuts that add a stylized, constructed feel. Overall spacing appears compact, emphasizing a narrow, poster-ready texture and a strong black-and-white contrast pattern in text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, magazine titling, branding marks, and premium packaging where its condensed geometry and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, deck lines, navigation labels) when set with generous size and breathing room.
The tone reads theatrical and urbane, with a strong Art Deco flavor—sleek, glamorous, and slightly severe. Its angularity and contrast evoke vintage display typography used for nightlife, fashion, and film-era titles, projecting confidence and drama rather than warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, era-inflected display voice: maximize vertical elegance and graphic contrast while maintaining a clean, sans foundation. Its constructed angles and narrow stance suggest an intention to stand out in titles and branding with a refined, cinematic presence.
The design’s thin connecting strokes and tight internal spaces create striking sparkle at large sizes but can look delicate where hairlines meet dense verticals. Numerals and uppercase forms share the same tall, rectilinear language, helping headings and titling feel cohesive across mixed content.
