This typeface is built from tall, condensed letterforms drawn with consistent, single-stroke weight and sharp, angular joins. Curves are often reduced to faceted or squared-off corners, giving counters a narrow, elongated feel (notably in rounded letters and numerals). Terminals tend to be blunt and straight, with occasional tapered or slightly flared strokes at diagonals that add a cut, chiseled rhythm. Spacing and proportions are tight and vertical, producing a high, spire-like silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase while maintaining a clean sans construction.
This font is best suited to display work where its condensed height and geometric styling can be appreciated—posters, titles, wordmarks, and signage. It can also work for short blocks of text or captions when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing to counter its tight, vertical rhythm.
The overall tone reads as Art Deco and retro-modern—sleek, stylized, and a bit theatrical. Its narrow, angular geometry suggests architecture, signage, and design from early modernist eras, while the monoline construction keeps it feeling crisp and graphic rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a stylized, era-evocative sans with strong vertical emphasis and a constructed, geometric feel. It prioritizes graphic personality and consistent linear structure for striking display typography.
Distinctive features include polygonal ‘O’/‘0’-like shapes, narrow counters, and simplified, linear curves that prioritize verticality. The numerals echo the same condensed, faceted logic, helping the set feel cohesive in display settings.
