Still a work in progress, but here's a sample setting.

It works really well ... hope the 'work in progress' includes a lowercase :)

Indeed, I am working on the lower case...

It looks like a clever mélange of Armada Regular Compressed, Senator Tall and FF Hardsoul regular. Cook it on slow fire and stir it well. 10/10

Fortunately, you didn't really gave up on this one. Nice condensed set.

Clean. Dig the low-waisted R and the high-backed N. I'm getting an Art-Deco wood type vibe from this.

When I started it, I was going for more of a modern look and as I worked on the design, it started to look completely different than I intended it to look. (Which is one of the reasons I put it aside for a few months...) But it really did start to take on some art deco qualities.

Still working on spacing in the lower case and need to complete the punctuation and special characters. It's still a work in progress.

I'll try to post some lower case sample settings this weekend.

Solid work! Really glad you didn't give up on this one, since it is a extremely functional typeface--as well as being totally gorgeous. Tall, dark, and handsome. I'm swooning over here!
