A condensed display face built from tall, rectilinear forms with squared terminals and minimal curvature. Strokes are heavy and consistent, then articulated by a fine inline channel that runs through the main stems and arms, creating a carved, sign-painted effect. Counters are tight and largely rectangular, and joins stay crisp and angular, giving the alphabet a rigid, architectural rhythm. The overall spacing feels compact, with punctuation and numerals matching the same narrow, vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where the inline detail can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work well for packaging, badges, and wordmarks that want a vintage-industrial or deco-inflected voice. For long reading, it’s most effective as a short-run display accent rather than body text.
The type conveys a bold, poster-like presence with a vintage mechanical flavor. Its inline detailing adds a decorative, crafted tone that recalls engraved lettering and old signage, balancing toughness with a touch of ornament. The narrow proportions and sharp geometry read as assertive and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed headline style with added visual interest through an engraved inline treatment. Its disciplined geometry and tight proportions suggest a focus on impactful vertical rhythm for titles and branding, echoing historical sign and poster lettering.
The inline cut is consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and figures, keeping texture uniform in longer lines of text. Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) are treated with flattened arcs and squared inner shapes, reinforcing the constructed, display-oriented character.
