A tall, tightly compressed display face built from straight strokes and faceted corners. The letterforms use sharp chamfers and wedge-like terminals that create an engraved, cut-paper feel, with alternating thick verticals and hairline connectors producing a brittle, high-contrast rhythm. Curves are largely replaced by polygonal approximations, and many counters are narrow or slit-like, reinforcing a rigid, architectural texture. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, adding an irregular cadence while maintaining consistent vertical emphasis.
Best suited for short-form display settings where its narrow proportions and spiky contrast can be appreciated—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and entertainment or nightlife artwork. It performs well at larger sizes where the hairline links and small counters remain clear and the faceted construction becomes a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is edgy and stylized, evoking vintage signage and Art Deco-inspired title lettering with a slightly offbeat, experimental twist. Its sharp angles and needle-thin cross-strokes feel dramatic and theatrical, leaning more toward visual impact than quiet readability.
The design appears intended to reinterpret condensed, Deco-era display lettering through a more experimental, angular construction. By emphasizing faceted terminals, extreme vertical stress, and intentionally irregular widths, it aims to create a distinctive, one-off voice for attention-grabbing titles.
Numerals and capitals read especially sculptural due to the repeated use of clipped corners and vertical stress. Lowercase forms echo the same geometry, with minimal roundness and occasional asymmetries that heighten the quirky, handcrafted impression.
