A tall, condensed display face built from rigid vertical stems and sharp, faceted joins. The letterforms are mostly monoline in silhouette but feature a consistent inline channel running through the strokes, creating a hollowed, engraved look and emphasizing the strong vertical rhythm. Terminals tend toward pointed or chamfered ends, and curves are largely squared-off into angular bowls and corners. Counters are compact, spacing is tight, and the overall texture reads dark and architectural despite the internal cut lines.
Best for impactful headlines, posters, and identity work where a dark, ornate presence is desired. It can work well on album covers, event promotions, labels, and packaging, especially when set large enough for the inline detailing to remain clear.
The font conveys a blackletter-adjacent, ceremonial tone with a modern, mechanical crispness. Its chiseled inlines and dagger-like terminals feel assertive and stylized, suggesting tradition, authority, and spectacle rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret gothic/engraved lettering with a clean, geometric construction and a signature inline cut that adds dimensionality. Its condensed build and strong verticality prioritize striking texture and brandable character over extended reading comfort.
The consistent internal striping creates prominent vertical highlights that can shimmer at larger sizes, while the condensed proportions and tight apertures make the design best suited to short runs. Numerals and lowercase share the same narrow, rigid construction, maintaining a uniform, poster-like cadence across mixed text.
