A tall, tightly set slab-serif with extremely condensed proportions and largely uniform stroke weight. Stems and bowls are drawn with rounded interior curves but terminate in flat, squared slabs, producing a crisp, rectilinear silhouette. Counters are narrow and vertical, and many forms emphasize straight-sided geometry (notably in the uppercase) with compact joins and minimal flare. The lowercase keeps the same narrow rhythm, with simplified, upright constructions and small, square-ended details that read cleanly at display sizes.
This design is best suited to display applications where condensed width and strong vertical rhythm are assets—posters, headlines, signage, and packaging titles. It can also work for logotypes or wordmarks that need a compact footprint without losing a bold, graphic presence.
The overall tone feels Art Deco and vintage, with a poster-like narrowness that suggests marquees, shopfront lettering, and period advertising. Its clean, squared terminals add an architectural, engineered character, while the compressed width gives it a dramatic, theatrical presence in headlines.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke early 20th-century display typography through compressed proportions and squared slab terminations, balancing decorative personality with a disciplined, repeatable geometry for consistent word shapes.
The font’s tight horizontal footprint and vertical emphasis create a strong columnar texture in words and lines. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, squared-off treatment, making mixed-case settings feel cohesive and distinctly stylized rather than neutral.
