A tall, tightly condensed display face with heavy vertical stems and striking internal cut-ins that create a carved, stencil-like rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with narrow counters and frequent pinched joins that emphasize the vertical axis. Terminals tend to be crisp and squared, while select letters show small notches and tapered connections that read like ink-traps or engraved insets. The lowercase follows the same compressed, high-impact structure, with single-storey forms and compact bowls that keep the texture dense and uniform in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, titles, and branding where a strong vertical voice and high-impact texture are desirable. It also works well on packaging and signage that benefits from an Art Deco–leaning, engraved display feel, but is less ideal for long body text due to its dense counters and condensed width.
The overall tone is dramatic and architectural, evoking classic marquee signage and early 20th-century poster lettering. Its exaggerated verticality and carved details give it a confident, slightly theatrical presence that feels vintage without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while adding character through carved insets and rounded-rectilinear construction. It aims for a vintage display aesthetic with a contemporary crispness, optimized for attention-grabbing editorial and identity applications.
The narrow proportions and tight apertures make it most effective at larger sizes, where the internal cut-ins and pinched joins remain clear. Numerals match the condensed, vertical emphasis, producing a consistent, poster-friendly color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
