A highly condensed display sans with a monolinear, vertical emphasis and sharply tapered terminals. Stems are rigid and rectilinear, with pointed, wedge-like ends that create a chiseled silhouette, while bowls and curves are minimized into narrow, faceted forms. Counters are tight and apertures are small, producing a dense, high-impact texture; diagonals appear sparingly and read as angular cuts rather than smooth joins. The overall rhythm is tall and columnar, with consistent stroke weight and a deliberately geometric, constructed feel.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its compressed width and spiked detailing can be appreciated—posters, mastheads, branding marks, album/film titles, and high-contrast packaging callouts. It can also work for themed event graphics or signage when set with generous size and spacing to preserve legibility.
The tone is dark and commanding, blending an industrial poster sensibility with blackletter-like severity. Its spiked terminals and compressed proportions evoke vintage headlines, metal/occult-adjacent aesthetics, and stern editorial titling. The texture feels intense and ceremonial rather than casual or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, using a strict vertical structure and sharpened terminals to create an imposing, stylized voice. It prioritizes a distinctive headline texture over neutral readability, aiming for a constructed, gothic-leaning display presence.
In the sample text, the narrow fit and sharp terminals create a distinctive vertical cadence, but the tight internal spaces can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in long passages. Capitals and numerals read especially strong for titling, while the lowercase maintains the same rigid, vertical character for consistent word-shape and texture.
