A tightly condensed display sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between very heavy verticals and hairline connectors, creating pronounced contrast and a crisp, graphic silhouette. Curves are minimized into rounded-rectangle counters and terminals, giving letters like O, Q, and 0 a superelliptical feel. Many glyphs show split or inset details (notably in bowls and stems), adding a subtle stenciled, inlined look while maintaining clean, straight-sided geometry.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline details and inset cuts remain clear—posters, editorial headlines, storefront-style signage, and brand marks that want a vintage-modern look. It can also work for packaging and labels where a tall, condensed voice helps fit more text without losing impact.
The overall tone is theatrical and metropolitan, evoking Art Deco signage and vintage cinema typography with a sleek, engineered edge. Its sharp contrast and narrow stance feel confident and slightly glamorous, with a retro-futurist flavor that reads as stylish and deliberate rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a statement display face that combines condensed efficiency with high-contrast glamour. Its rounded-rectangle construction and inlined/stenciled details suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, period-inspired texture that stands out in short text and titles.
Spacing appears relatively tight and the internal hairlines become a key part of the texture, especially in mixed-case settings. The numerals and capitals maintain consistent height and rigidity, while round characters stay squarish and controlled, reinforcing the font’s architectural cadence.
