A tightly condensed display face built from straight, monoline strokes and sharply angled joins. Forms are tall and narrow with a strong vertical emphasis, squared counters, and frequent wedge-like cuts that create pointed terminals at tops and bottoms. Curves are minimized into faceted segments, giving bowls and shoulders a geometric, chiseled feel. Spacing is compact and rhythmically rigid, producing a dense, high-contrast texture on the line even without stroke contrast.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and entertainment titling where its condensed width and sharp silhouette can carry the composition. It performs particularly well at medium-to-large sizes where the interior cuts and pointed terminals remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is stern and commanding, with a gothic-industrial edge. Its sharp cuts and compressed proportions evoke poster lettering and hard-edged titling, reading as intense, dramatic, and slightly archaic without leaning into ornate blackletter detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a uniform stroke and aggressive angular detailing to create a distinctive, hard-edged voice. It prioritizes silhouette, vertical rhythm, and a carved aesthetic for attention-grabbing display typography.
Distinctive triangular notches and blade-like descenders/ascenders are used repeatedly, creating a consistent “carved” motif across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase maintains the same narrow, vertical construction as the uppercase, and the numerals follow the same angular, compressed logic, supporting coherent titling sets.
