A tall, condensed slab-serif design with extremely thin, near-monoline strokes and crisp, unbracketed serifs. Curves are subtly faceted into angular segments, giving bowls and rounds a chamfered, almost octagonal feel. Proportions are narrow with generous vertical reach; counters stay open but are compact, and joins remain sharp and tidy. Lowercase forms are simple and upright, with a single-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and consistent stem weight that keeps texture even across lines.
Best suited to display settings where its tall condensed stance and crisp slabs can read cleanly—headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, and distinctive branding marks. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or packaging callouts when set with ample size and comfortable tracking.
The overall tone feels spare and exacting, with a slightly eccentric, vintage-draftsmanship character. Its thin strokes and chiseled curves suggest technical lettering or old signage, delivering a cool, restrained personality rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed slab-serif voice with a technical, slightly ornamental edge—pairing strict vertical structure with subtly chamfered curves to stand out while remaining orderly and legible in display use.
Digits and capitals emphasize verticality and straight-sided construction, while the faceted treatment of curves adds a distinctive rhythmic sparkle in text. The light hairline weight and tight proportions make spacing and background color highly influential on perceived clarity, especially at smaller sizes.
