A highly condensed, vertical display face built from straight strokes and sharp planar cuts instead of curves. Counters are narrow and often slit-like, with pointed terminals and chamfered corners that create a faceted, chiseled silhouette. The rhythm is tight and upright, with consistent stroke thickness and a strong emphasis on verticals; diagonals appear as crisp wedges that add bite to joins and terminals. Capitals and lowercase share a similarly tall, compressed structure, producing dense words and a strong, columnar texture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its condensed, knife-cut shapes can dominate the page—posters, editorial headers, album/film titles, and branding marks. It can also work for packaging or labels that benefit from a bold, blackletter-adjacent attitude without traditional serifs.
The overall tone is stark and forceful, with a gothic-meets-industrial flavor that feels dramatic and slightly ominous. Its sharp geometry and compressed stance read as assertive and theatrical, lending a retro poster energy with a dark, metallic edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using faceted geometry to evoke carved metal or stone and to create a distinctive gothic-industrial display voice.
The design favors distinctive, angular forms over open readability, especially in smaller sizes, where narrow apertures and compressed spacing can make characters visually converge. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, keeping a consistent, hard-edged voice across alphanumerics.
