A condensed, all-caps-forward display face with tall, rectangular proportions and sharply cornered construction. Strokes are heavy and straight with minimal curvature, and most joins resolve into hard angles and squared terminals. An inline cut runs through the vertical stems and parts of the bowls, creating a carved, hollowed rhythm that keeps the dense letterforms from fully filling in. Counters are small and boxy, and the overall texture is tight and vertical, with occasional irregular, slightly distressed edges that add grit.
Best used for short, high-contrast text where its carved inline detail and condensed power can be appreciated—posters, title cards, album/film graphics, packaging, and bold branding moments. It can also work for signage-style applications when set large, where the internal cutouts remain distinct and legibility stays crisp.
The font projects a gritty, industrial tone with a retro poster sensibility—part art-deco compression, part stamped/engraved signage. Its inline carving adds a metallic, machined feel, while the narrow silhouettes and sharp corners give it an assertive, high-impact voice suited to dramatic headlines.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing, condensed display font that balances heavy mass with internal carving to preserve texture and separation. Its squared geometry and inline cuts suggest a deliberate ‘engraved’ or ‘machined’ look aimed at impactful, vintage-leaning typographic statements.
Uppercase forms read strongest due to their straightforward geometry; lowercase retains the same condensed, blocky logic with simplified bowls and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed pattern, maintaining consistent density and the signature inline cuts, which can create a flicker-like texture at smaller sizes or in long passages.
