A condensed display sans with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, producing compact bowls and smooth, squared-off terminals. Many joins and apertures show narrow, slit-like counters and small carved notches that read as stencil-like or ink-trap details, while vertical strokes remain steady and dominant. The overall rhythm is tall and tightly spaced, with crisp silhouettes and emphatic black shapes at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logotypes, and short editorial callouts where the condensed width and contrast can create striking vertical texture. It also works well for packaging and branding applications that want a vintage-modern display voice, particularly at medium to large sizes where the narrow counters and carved details remain clear.
The font projects a stylish, stage-poster energy with a distinctly vintage, Art Deco sensibility. Its sharp contrast and compressed proportions feel confident and dramatic, leaning toward fashion and nightlife rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice by combining superelliptic rounding with dramatic contrast and carved apertures. The result emphasizes a glamorous, retro tone while keeping letterforms clean and sans-led for modern layout compatibility.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent tall profile with tight interior openings, and the lowercase follows suit with similarly compressed bowls and distinctive cut-ins (notably in forms like a, e, and s). Figures are bold and poster-friendly, with simplified geometry and clear, high-impact shapes that keep texture consistent across long lines of text when set large.
