A condensed, monoline sans with sharply angular construction and wedge-like terminals. Stems are tall and slabby with frequent inward notches and cut-ins that create a broken, faceted silhouette, especially at corners and joins. Counters tend toward narrow vertical apertures, and curves are largely minimized or straightened into segmented forms. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with slightly irregular glyph widths and distinctive, sometimes asymmetric details that keep the texture lively despite the rigid geometry.
Best suited for posters, titles, branding marks, and other display settings where a narrow, high-impact word shape is useful. It can work well for album art, event flyers, game interfaces, and packaging that benefits from a hard-edged, stylized voice. For longer passages, its tight internal spaces and aggressive detailing are likely to read better at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The overall tone feels dark, industrial, and slightly theatrical, with a hint of vintage poster attitude. Its sharp cuts and spiky corners give it an assertive, edgy voice that reads more like display lettering than a neutral workhorse. The style suggests ominous, pulp, or alternative-culture cues while still staying recognizably sans in structure.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum character and vertical punch in limited horizontal space, using angular cuts and notches to create a distinctive signature. It prioritizes a dramatic, constructed texture over neutrality, aiming for memorable, poster-ready letterforms that retain consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Distinctive carved-in details appear across many letters (notched shoulders, pinched waists, and stepped terminals), producing a consistent stencil-like bite without fully becoming a true stencil. Numerals follow the same tall, angular logic, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines and short bursts.
