A condensed, heavy display face built from straight strokes and sharp, faceted corners. Many terminals are cut with diagonal or triangular notches, creating a chiseled, stencil-like rhythm while keeping counters tight and mostly rectangular. Stroke endings and joins emphasize verticality, with occasional interior wedges and angled cuts that add texture and break up large black areas. The overall spacing is compact and headline-oriented, producing dense, high-impact word shapes.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its angular detailing and dense texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, event graphics, and impactful branding wordmarks. It can also work for signage and packaging that benefits from an industrial or gothic flavor, while extended body text may feel heavy due to the tight counters and compact rhythm.
The font projects a forceful, industrial tone with a gothic edge—commanding, edgy, and slightly theatrical. Its carved geometry and hard angles evoke signage, metalwork, or vintage poster lettering, giving it a retro-mechanical attitude that reads as bold and uncompromising.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that borrows from gothic/industrial lettering traditions while staying clean and geometric. The faceted cuts and notch-like terminals suggest an aim to add character and texture to bold condensed headlines without relying on ornament or curves.
Uppercase forms feel especially rigid and monumental, while lowercase introduces similarly angular construction with simplified bowls and short, squared curves. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, maintaining consistent weight and tight apertures, which reinforces the typeface’s poster-like presence. The distinctive notches and angled cuts become more prominent at larger sizes, where the internal detailing is clearest.
