A tall, tightly set sans with a pronounced vertical rhythm and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are largely even with subtle modulation, and corners are consistently softened into squared-off curves rather than perfect circles. Counters tend to be narrow and upright, with rounded terminals and occasional small ink-trap-like notches where curves meet stems. The overall texture is dark and compact, with narrow apertures and a clean, engineered silhouette.
Best suited to display work where a compact, high-impact line can carry personality: posters, titles, signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when a condensed, retro-industrial tone is desired.
The design reads as vintage-modern: streamlined, urban, and slightly theatrical, evoking signage and poster lettering from early-to-mid 20th century styles. Its condensed stance and rounded-rect geometry give it an assertive, stylized voice while staying clean and functional.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to create a distinctive, period-tinged voice without ornamental details. The consistent vertical emphasis and softened corners suggest a focus on readability at display sizes while maintaining a strong stylistic signature.
Round letters (like O and Q) appear more like vertical capsules than true ovals, reinforcing the superelliptical feel. The lowercase shows the same tall proportions as the caps, keeping a consistent, stacked look in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, supporting cohesive headline and display settings.
