A condensed display sans built from crisp, faceted strokes that substitute sharp planes for most curves. Vertical stems are tall and slender, with minimal stroke modulation and a tight, linear rhythm that keeps counters narrow and openings controlled. Terminals frequently end in pointed or tapered cuts, and round letters resolve into angular, teardrop-like shapes, giving the alphabet a consistent chiseled silhouette. Overall spacing feels compact and upright, with clean joins and a slightly calligraphic sense of direction despite the geometric construction.
Best suited for display work such as posters, headings, cover treatments, packaging, and signage where its angular construction and condensed footprint can create impact. It also fits themed applications—period-inspired layouts, nightlife branding, or dramatic title cards—where a stylized, characterful voice is desired.
The tone reads as Art Deco–leaning and theatrical, mixing elegance with a playful, slightly spooky flair. Its sharp facets and tall proportions evoke vintage signage and title lettering, suggesting drama and character rather than neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice by combining tall condensed proportions with faceted, chiseled strokes that feel geometric yet expressive. The goal appears to be distinctive headline presence with a vintage-leaning, decorative edge.
The design maintains a cohesive faceted logic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing distinctive silhouettes at larger sizes. Because many forms are narrow with tight internal space, clarity may diminish in small text, while headings benefit from the strong vertical emphasis and crisp, cut-stone finish.
