A sharply faceted display sans with extreme vertical proportions and tight horizontal set. Stems are straight and consistent, with corners cut into small planar chamfers that replace curves, producing octagonal bowls and clipped terminals. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and joins stay crisp with minimal modulation, giving the alphabet a disciplined, engineered rhythm. The overall texture is dense and columnar, with distinctive, stylized forms for round characters and a consistent use of angular notches in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short lines where its condensed, high-impact geometry can dominate the page. It performs well in poster typography, branding marks, and signage that benefits from a vertical, architectural presence. In longer passages it is likely most effective as a stylistic accent rather than continuous text.
The font reads as sleek and mechanical, evoking Art Deco signage and streamlined industrial design. Its knife-edged geometry and compressed stance project confidence and urgency, lending a noir, metropolitan tone that feels at home in retro-futurist or vintage poster contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast visual signature through repeated angular facets and tightly controlled proportions. Its construction prioritizes a distinctive silhouette and strong vertical rhythm, aiming for a modernized Art Deco look that stays clean and sans-like while remaining overtly stylized.
Letterforms rely on repeated chamfer angles to keep the system cohesive, so even traditionally curved shapes (C, O, S, G, Q) retain a hard-edged, faceted silhouette. The digit set follows the same narrow, angular construction, supporting a unified typographic voice in mixed alphanumeric settings.
