A tall, tightly set display sans with sharply faceted curves and pointed joins that turn bowls and rounds into planar, chiseled shapes. Strokes stay consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing strong vertical emphasis and a compact, column-like rhythm. Counters are narrow and often teardrop or triangular in feeling, with curved strokes resolving into crisp tips; diagonals and terminals tend to end in knife-like points. Uppercase proportions are elongated and monolinear, while the lowercase keeps a similarly narrow footprint, with simple, linear constructions and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same condensed, angular logic, giving a cohesive, signage-like texture across letters and figures.
This font is best used for display applications such as posters, headlines, film or event titles, and brand marks where its faceted geometry can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for packaging and short callouts that benefit from a compact, high-impact presence.
The overall tone reads vintage and cinematic, blending Art Deco elegance with a slightly dramatic, shadowy edge. Its sharp facets and tall proportions feel suited to classic poster typography—confident, stylized, and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret a classic geometric sans through a faceted, Deco-inspired lens, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette and strong vertical rhythm. The aim is a compact, high-contrast-in-shape look that stands out in titles and branding.
The design relies on repeated vertical stems and consistent pointed terminals, creating a strong rhythm in all-caps settings. In text, the tight apertures and condensed forms increase density, making spacing and size choices important for clarity.
