A tightly condensed display face built from tall, rectilinear letterforms with sharp terminals and frequent pointed notches. Strokes are heavy and broken up by an internal cut that reads like a carved inline, creating a hollowed, ribbed effect and giving vertical stems extra structure. Corners are mostly squared, with occasional wedge-like hooks and daggered ends that add bite and texture. Counters tend to be narrow and geometric, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, producing a strong, poster-like silhouette.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where the condensed, high-impact shapes can read as deliberate styling—posters, event titles, branding marks, packaging, and entertainment/album graphics. It will perform strongest at larger sizes where the carved interior detailing remains clear.
The font conveys a dramatic, gothic-leaning tone with a crafted, blade-cut feel. Its tight proportions and angular detailing suggest intensity and spectacle, balancing vintage signage energy with a slightly menacing, theatrical edge.
The design appears intended as a statement display face: a condensed, gothic-inspired construction with carved inline detailing to create depth and a hand-cut, ornamental presence. It prioritizes personality and texture over neutral readability for long passages.
The inline carving increases visual complexity and can make smaller sizes feel busy, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive internal channels and chiseled corners. Round characters are largely squared-off, reinforcing a rigid, architectural texture across words.
