A tall, tightly packed display sans with a stark vertical emphasis and crisp, faceted terminals that substitute angled cuts for curves. Strokes remain consistently heavy, with narrow counters and a compact interior geometry that keeps letters dense and rhythmic. Round shapes (O, C, G, 0) read as flattened ovals with planar corners, while joins and endpoints resolve into sharp chamfers and straight segments. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, vertical construction and a restrained x-height relative to the long ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a streamlined, columnar texture in lines of text.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging/branding marks, album covers, and title cards. It performs especially well when you want a condensed, high-density wordshape that holds together as a bold graphic element at display sizes.
The overall tone is severe and architectural, mixing vintage condensed poster energy with a modern, machined precision. Its sharp facets and compressed spacing create a dramatic, slightly ominous presence suited to bold, attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, faceted voice. Its consistent heavy strokes and angular corner treatment suggest a deliberate blend of condensed signage tradition and sharp, geometric stylization for memorable display typography.
The numerals and caps echo the same rigid, cut-corner construction, producing a consistent silhouette across alphanumerics. In extended text the dense counters and tight proportions create strong color and a continuous vertical cadence, which amplifies impact at larger sizes.
