A tall, condensed display sans with a strong vertical emphasis and crisp, flat terminals. Strokes show pronounced contrast—thick stems paired with thin connections and interior counters—creating a chiseled, graphic rhythm. Curves are tightened and slightly squared-off in places, with compact apertures and narrow bowls that keep the texture dense. Uppercase forms are especially columnar, while lowercase maintains similar narrow proportions and steady baseline alignment; numerals follow the same compressed, high-impact construction.
Best suited to posters, headlines, title treatments, and branding where a compact width and strong presence are needed. It can work well on packaging and editorial display pages, especially for short phrases, pull quotes, and impactful labels where verticality and contrast help create hierarchy.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a vintage show-card and headline urgency. Its compressed silhouettes and stark light–dark pattern give it a gritty, urban feel that can read as noir or industrial depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while delivering a distinctive, high-contrast silhouette. Its tall proportions and graphic stroke behavior suggest a display-first purpose geared toward attention-grabbing typography rather than long-form reading.
In text settings, the tight counters and condensed spacing produce a dark, continuous typographic color, so the face benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing at smaller sizes. The contrasty joins and narrow apertures make it most comfortable when allowed to breathe in larger, statement-oriented compositions.
