A condensed, vertically oriented design built from straight strokes and sharp, planar cuts that replace curves with beveled facets. Stems are firm and mostly monolinear, with stepped joints, clipped corners, and occasional interior notches that create a chiseled rhythm. Counters stay compact and rectangular, producing a tight, high-contrast-on-page texture that remains highly structured in both uppercase and lowercase.
This font suits short to medium-length display settings where a compact, forceful word shape is desirable—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. It works best at larger sizes where the faceting and notches can be appreciated and where the tight counters won’t clog in reproduction.
The overall tone is stern and engineered, evoking signage, machinery, and disciplined display typography. Its sharp geometry and compressed proportions give it a slightly gothic, dramatic edge without relying on decorative flourishes, keeping the feel modern-industrial and assertive.
The design appears intended to translate a blackletter-like vertical discipline into a simplified, geometric system, using facets and clipped terminals to suggest carving or metalwork. Its consistent straight-stroke construction prioritizes impact, compactness, and a distinctive angular voice for contemporary display use.
Uppercase forms read particularly strong due to their rigid verticals and squared apertures, while lowercase retains the same faceted construction for a consistent voice. Numerals match the angular language and maintain a uniform, poster-ready presence.
