This typeface uses tall, condensed proportions with a disciplined, monoline stroke that’s occasionally shaped by subtle flares and pinched joins. Serifs read as small, sharp wedges or tapered brackets rather than heavy feet, while many curves resolve into squarish, rounded-rectangle counters (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals). The overall rhythm is clean and vertical, with long ascenders/descenders and compact bowls, giving text a crisp, columnar texture. Figures match the narrow stance and share the same rounded-rect geometry and tapered terminals.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed silhouette and stylized serif construction can read clearly—headlines, cover lines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where a refined, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The design projects an Art Deco–leaning sophistication: sleek, composed, and slightly theatrical without becoming ornate. Its narrow, high-rise silhouette and stylized serif treatment suggest vintage signage, editorial titling, and classic luxury cues.
The letterforms appear designed to blend classic serif cues with streamlined, geometric construction, prioritizing a distinctive period flavor and a neat, vertical texture. The goal seems to be an elegant display face that feels both ornamental and controlled, with recognizable Art Deco influence.
Distinctive details include a geometric, almost tube-like construction in round letters, a sharp apex on A, and a Q with a tidy, inset tail. The lowercase keeps the same restrained, architectural logic, with simple single-storey forms and minimal modulation that preserves a consistent, polished texture in lines of text.
