A condensed, vertical display face with heavy stems and sharply cut, angular terminals. The glyphs are built from straight-sided forms with frequent notches, wedges, and small internal cutouts that create a stenciled, segmented feel. Curves are minimized and when present are squared-off, producing a rigid, architectural rhythm. Proportions are tall with tight counters and compact bowls, giving lines of text a dense, column-like texture.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and branding accents where a strong, stylized voice is needed. It can work well for music/event graphics, game titles, themed packaging, or signage-style compositions, but is less appropriate for extended reading or small UI text due to its dense counters and decorative cuts.
The overall tone feels industrial and theatrical, mixing a gothic/blackletter echo with a modern, fabricated edge. The repeated cuts and pointed joins add tension and energy, making the font read as assertive, slightly sinister, and intentionally unconventional.
The letterforms appear designed to create a bold, crafted identity—evoking carved, stamped, or fabricated lettering through repeated notches and segmented strokes. The intention seems to prioritize attitude and visual impact over neutrality, offering a distinctive, genre-coded texture for titles and branding.
The design maintains a consistent system of angled incisions and slab-like feet across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which helps it stay cohesive despite its decorative construction. Its narrow set and tight interior spaces make it most visually effective at larger sizes where the cut details remain clear.
