A sharply condensed display face built from tall, rigid verticals with strong thick–thin contrast. Strokes are mostly straight and angular, with wedge-like terminals and small spur details that create a faceted, cut-metal impression. Curves are reduced into crisp corners and narrow apertures, and many forms feel slightly segmented, giving the alphabet a distinctive, constructed rhythm. Spacing reads tight and columnar, while letter widths vary enough to keep the texture lively rather than purely monolinear or geometric.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title treatments, album art, and packaging where its narrow proportions help fit long words into tight spaces. It also works well for short branding phrases or dramatic pull quotes when set large enough for the angular joins and spur terminals to read clearly.
The overall tone is dramatic and a bit eccentric—part gothic poster, part art-deco severity, with a playful irregularity that keeps it from feeling purely historic. It conveys intensity and spectacle, suggesting mystery, pulp theatrics, or stylized retro-futurism rather than neutral readability.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing, one-of-a-kind display face that blends gothic sharpness with a constructed, faceted look. Its condensed build and high-contrast detailing prioritize striking silhouette and texture over continuous-text comfort.
The sample text shows a strong vertical cadence and pronounced black/white striping at larger sizes, where the high-contrast joins and sharp terminals become the main visual feature. Numerals and capitals match the same narrow, chiseled language, helping headlines feel unified and iconic.
