A tightly condensed, linear display face built from narrow vertical stems and crisp, angular terminals. Strokes maintain an even thickness, with sharp notches and wedge-like cuts that create a chiseled silhouette without true serifs. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many forms emphasize straight-sided geometry and pointed junctions, producing a rhythmic, ladder-like texture in words. Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly narrow footprint, with simplified curves that resolve into faceted corners rather than round bowls.
Best suited to display applications where a strong vertical rhythm and condensed footprint are useful, such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging or label-style layouts that benefit from a tall, striking wordshape, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels mechanical and dramatic—part Art Deco poster, part ominous headline. Its spiky terminals and compressed proportions suggest urban signage, pulp titles, and a slightly sinister noir atmosphere rather than friendly everyday text.
The font appears designed to deliver an attention-grabbing, space-saving display voice using rigid geometry and sharpened terminals. Its consistent linear construction and faceted cuts prioritize distinctive texture and mood over neutral readability in long passages.
The design leans heavily on verticality, so spacing and word texture become a prominent part of the look. Numerals and punctuation follow the same narrow, cut-in aesthetic, helping the set feel consistent for titling and short statements.
