A tall, condensed sans with monoline construction and smoothly rounded terminals. Curves are clean and geometric, with circular bowls (notably in O/Q) paired with straight, vertical stems that create a strong up‑and‑down rhythm. Many lowercase forms are simplified and narrow, with small counters and a compact x-height relative to the ascenders, giving the line a stacked, vertical emphasis. Numerals echo the same streamlined geometry, mixing tight curves with straight-sided structures for a consistent, poster-friendly texture.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed build and geometric curves can read large and confident, such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and editorial titles. It can also work for short bursts of UI or signage text when a retro, streamlined voice is desired, though its compact lowercase shapes favor larger sizes.
The overall tone feels distinctly Art Deco and vintage-modern: refined, architectural, and slightly dramatic. Its narrow proportions and polished curves convey a fashionable, urban mood that reads as classic glamour rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, period-inspired sans that captures early 20th-century display typography through condensed proportions, simplified forms, and clean circular geometry, balancing legibility with a distinctive decorative flair.
Round letters maintain a controlled, near-circular construction while several glyphs introduce subtle idiosyncrasies (such as the Q’s tail and the compact, looped lowercase forms) that add personality without breaking consistency. The spacing in the sample text creates a crisp, columnar cadence that reinforces the font’s verticality.
