A tightly condensed, vertical display face with slab-like terminals and a distinctly squared, chiseled construction. Strokes feel mostly straight and planar with crisp corners, while curves (as in C, O, and Q) are restrained and slightly faceted. The design shows clear thick–thin behavior in places, but maintains an overall rigid rhythm driven by tall stems, narrow counters, and compact bowls. Serifs read as sturdy, bracketless slabs that act more like hard-edged caps on verticals than traditional footed serifs, reinforcing a tall, poster-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for editorial titling and mastheads, especially when space is limited horizontally and a tall, commanding rhythm is desirable.
The font conveys a stern, industrial confidence with a vintage undertone—suggesting early 20th‑century signage, letterpress headlines, and utilitarian labeling. Its narrow proportions and sharp detailing give it a slightly dramatic, noir-leaning tone that feels disciplined and formal rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow measure, using slabbed terminals and faceted geometry to create a strong, period-evocative display texture. It prioritizes structural clarity and vertical emphasis, aiming for bold headline performance and a distinctly industrial, vintage character.
Spacing appears tight and the interior counters are narrow, which heightens density and impact in lines of text. The lowercase follows the same compressed, angular logic as the uppercase, creating a consistent, high-contrast texture suitable for display settings rather than extended reading.
