This typeface is built from crisp, faceted strokes that replace curves with chamfered planes, creating a hard-edged silhouette throughout. Stems read largely monoline with minimal contrast, and terminals are cut on consistent angles that suggest beveled corners rather than rounded joins. Counters are compact and polygonal, with squared-off bowls and notched interior shapes that keep the texture tight and vertical. The overall rhythm is upright and compact, with tall proportions, a restrained x-height relative to ascenders/descenders, and a slightly mechanical regularity across letters and figures.
It works best where a strong, compact word shape is needed—headlines, posters, signage, and branding marks that benefit from a rigid, architectural presence. The dense, angular texture also suits short blocks of display text, packaging callouts, and editorial titling where a dark, assertive tone is appropriate.
The faceted geometry and sharp terminals give the font a stern, gothic-leaning voice with an industrial edge. It feels formal and declarative, with a vintage sign-lettering energy that reads as disciplined and no-nonsense rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter-inspired rigidity into a more pared-back, geometric construction, using planar cuts to evoke carved or stamped lettering. Its consistent angles and compact counters prioritize impact and a distinctive silhouette over softness or neutrality.
Uppercase forms emphasize verticality and straight-sided construction, while lowercase retains the same chiseled logic, producing a consistent, dense color in text. Numerals follow the same angular vocabulary, with squared apertures and clipped corners that keep figures visually aligned with the caps.
