A condensed display face with heavy vertical emphasis, high-contrast joins, and sharply cut slab-like serifs. Strokes are predominantly straight and orthogonal, with triangular notches and wedge cuts appearing at corners and terminals, creating an engraved, machined feel. Counters are tight and rectangular, apertures are small, and crossbars and arms tend to be short, which increases density and makes the silhouette read as tall, compact, and highly graphic.
Best used for headlines, short slogans, mastheads, and logotypes where its dense, carved texture can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, signage, and entertainment or music contexts that benefit from a vintage-gothic or industrial edge, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is stern and dramatic, mixing gothic/blackletter flavor with an industrial, poster-era bluntness. Its sharp slabs and chiseled details suggest authority, tradition, and a slightly menacing edge—well suited to bold, attention-seeking statements.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact display face that blends slab-serif structure with blackletter-inspired sharpness. Its narrow build and aggressive terminals prioritize strong vertical rhythm and striking silhouettes for branding and poster typography.
Spacing and proportions favor tight horizontal economy, so textures become quite dark in paragraphs; the design performs best when given breathing room. The distinctive wedge incisions and square-cut terminals create strong word shapes but can reduce clarity at small sizes or in long runs of text.
