A condensed display sans with tall proportions, squared curves, and crisp, rectilinear terminals. Many glyphs feature an internal inline highlight that runs parallel to the main stroke, creating a split-stroke effect and adding a mechanical, sign-painted feel. Curves are tightly controlled and often resolve into near-rectangular bowls, while diagonals (notably in V, W, X, Y, and Z) remain sharp and planar. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is vertical and architectural, with select letters showing small ink-trap-like notches or cut-ins that enhance the constructed look.
Best suited for large-size typography where the inline detailing can be appreciated: headlines, posters, and brand marks. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from a retro-industrial voice. For longer text, it works most effectively in short bursts such as pull quotes or section headers.
The overall tone is theatrical and vintage, evoking Art Deco titling, industrial signage, and classic poster lettering. The inline detailing adds a sense of shine and depth, giving the face a bold, attention-grabbing personality suited to dramatic headlines.
The design appears intended as a decorative condensed sans for impactful titling, combining geometric construction with an inline highlight to suggest dimensionality and polished metal or painted signage. Its consistent vertical emphasis and controlled bowls prioritize strong silhouette and high visual presence.
Uppercase forms are especially stylized and uniform in height, while the lowercase keeps the same condensed, engineered character with simplified shapes and sturdy stems. Numerals follow the same squared geometry and inline motif, reading well as a coordinated set for display use.
