A condensed, heavy display sans with angular construction and a largely monoline stroke. The letterforms are built from straight stems and sharp corners, with frequent triangular notches and wedge-like terminals that create a cut, chiseled silhouette. Counters are small and rectangular, and many joins are abrupt, giving the type a rigid rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Capitals and lowercase share a consistent, tall architecture, while several characters (notably V/W/Y) feature pointed bottoms that reinforce the faceted, blade-like theme.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, compressed wordmark is needed. It can also work for signage, packaging, and title treatments in genres that benefit from a rigid, industrial or gothic-leaning voice; avoid long passages or very small sizes due to the tight counters and dense color.
The overall tone feels stern and mechanical, with echoes of blackletter energy translated into a stripped, sans construction. Its sharp geometry and tight spacing suggest posters, uniforms, machinery, or dystopian/techno narratives rather than friendly everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a highly recognizable, stylized silhouette. By combining condensed proportions with chiseled cuts and pointed terminals, it aims to evoke an industrial-gothic attitude and a dramatic, display-first presence.
The design relies on repeated motifs—narrow rectangular counters, clipped corners, and spurred cuts—so it reads as a coherent system across letters and numerals. The dense black mass and tight inner shapes make it most effective at larger sizes, where the distinctive cuts and pointed terminals remain clear.
