A condensed, high-contrast display face with sculpted, chiseled letterforms and a consistent inline cut running through the main strokes. Stems are heavy and upright, while curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S) are smooth but tensioned, with sharp terminals and occasional spurred joins that add a faceted, carved feel. The inline is generally centered and follows stroke direction, creating a dimensional, engraved effect that reads like a built-in highlight. Uppercase has a taller, more monumental presence, while the lowercase keeps a compact, slightly simplified structure; numerals are similarly narrow with strong vertical emphasis and distinctive internal striping.
Best suited to display applications where the inline carving can be appreciated, such as posters, event titles, storefront or wayfinding signage, logo wordmarks, and packaging labels with a vintage or theatrical concept. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers when used with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels vintage and show-oriented, evoking poster lettering and signage with a hint of gothic drama. The inline detailing adds sparkle and movement, giving the face a theatrical, slightly mischievous energy rather than a strictly formal one.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice with an integrated inline highlight, combining condensed proportions with a carved, dimensional texture for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
The narrow set width and strong vertical rhythm make lines of text feel tightly packed and punchy, while the inline detail becomes a defining texture at display sizes. At smaller sizes the interior cut may visually fill in, but at headline scale it contributes a crisp, engraved character.
