A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and strongly condensed proportions. Forms are built from straight verticals and crisp diagonals, with small chamfered/cut corners that create an octagonal, faceted feel on curves (notably in C, G, O, and S). Terminals are clean and blunt, counters are narrow, and the overall texture is high-contrast through space rather than stroke weight, producing an even, vertical rhythm. Numerals mirror the same narrow, angular construction, keeping the set visually consistent.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titling, and signage where its narrow footprint and crisp geometry can carry a strong visual identity. It can also work for branding accents and packaging when used at moderate-to-large sizes with generous tracking to keep the tall forms from feeling compressed.
The design reads as distinctly Art Deco and display-oriented—sleek, dramatic, and slightly cinematic. Its sharpened geometry and towering silhouettes evoke vintage signage and title typography with a refined, somewhat noir atmosphere.
The likely intent is a condensed display sans that channels Deco-era geometry through modern, monoline construction. By combining tall proportions with chamfered corners and simplified curves, it aims to deliver a distinctive, architectural voice for impactful typographic statements.
In the sample text, the condensed width creates a strong vertical cadence and makes words feel elongated; this lends impact at larger sizes but can feel crowded in longer passages. The consistent corner-cut motif gives the alphabet a cohesive, engineered look that stands out in headlines and short phrases.
