A heavy, angular sans with tall, compact proportions and a distinctly chiseled construction. Strokes are mostly straight-sided with beveled corners and occasional wedge-like terminals, creating faceted counters and sharp interior angles. Curved forms (like C, O, S) are rendered as polygonal approximations rather than true curves, producing a rigid rhythm across lines. Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, geometric approach, and the figures follow the same block-built logic for consistent color and spacing.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, bold editorial headlines, brand marks, and signage where the angular detailing can be appreciated. It also fits packaging or album-cover typography that benefits from a strong, industrial or gothic-leaning tone.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, with a dark, architectural presence that reads as both vintage and utilitarian. Its angular cuts and compressed, vertical stance give it a stern, authoritative voice suited to impactful messaging.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a blackletter-inspired, carved aesthetic into a simplified sans framework: hard edges, beveled joins, and polygonal curves that emphasize strength and structure over softness. The goal is high impact and a distinctive texture rather than neutral text readability.
The design maintains strong consistency in its chamfered corners and squared counter shapes, which helps large headings look cohesive. The narrow apertures and dense texture can make long passages feel intense, especially at smaller sizes, but it performs convincingly when set large where the faceted detailing becomes a feature.
