A highly condensed decorative serif with tall proportions and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes read largely uniform, but the forms are shaped with angular cuts and subtle flares that create a carved, chiseled impression; corners are often clipped and terminals end in small wedge-like serifs. Round letters (like O and C) are squared off into narrow, faceted ovals, while joins and apertures stay tight, reinforcing a compact rhythm. The overall texture is dark and linear, with a consistent, engineered geometry across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where a dense, tall wordmark is desirable—headlines, posters, storefront-style signage, packaging labels, and logo lockups. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or titling where the condensed width helps fit long words into narrow columns.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing an industrial, sign-painting directness with a faint gothic and Art Deco-era drama. Its narrow, rigid stance and sharp terminals suggest authority and intensity rather than softness or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using faceted curves and wedge terminals to evoke carved lettering and vintage sign aesthetics. Its consistent construction across the set prioritizes a distinctive silhouette and strong vertical rhythm for display impact.
Capitals dominate visually with especially tall, column-like shapes, while the lowercase remains compact and stylized rather than text-centric. Numerals echo the same faceted construction, and wide letters like W are handled with tightly packed verticals to preserve the condensed color. The design favors impact and uniformity of silhouette over open counters and generous spacing.
