A condensed display sans with a tall, compact skeleton and assertive black shapes. Strokes read largely uniform, but many joins and terminals are carved into sharp wedges and notches, creating faceted curves and pointed corners. Bowls and rounds (C, G, O, e) are narrowed and slightly geometric, with distinctive cut-ins that give an almost chiseled silhouette. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with short crossbars, narrow apertures, and a consistent pattern of angular terminals across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where its condensed width and sharp cut terminals can create impact. It can work for short text blocks or taglines at generous sizes, especially in retro-themed branding or editorial display settings, but the dense, stylized interior cuts may reduce clarity at small sizes.
The overall tone is vintage and theatrical, evoking Art Deco signage and poster lettering with a slightly eccentric edge. The pointed cutaways add drama and motion, making the font feel energetic, stylized, and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic display feel with a distinctive carved geometry—combining narrow proportions with wedge-like terminals to produce a memorable, period-leaning voice for attention-driven typography.
Capitals are especially emblematic and symmetrical, while lowercase forms keep the same wedge-cut language, resulting in a cohesive but highly characterful texture in text. Numerals follow the same carved, angular logic, helping headings and short lines maintain a consistent voice.
