A condensed, display-oriented serif with pronounced wedge terminals and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes often taper into sharp points, while several counters are reduced or fully collapsed, producing solid, ink-trap-like interior shapes in letters such as O, Q, 8, and 9. Round forms are heavy and bulbous, contrasted by crisp, knife-like diagonals in V/W/X and angular joins in M/N. The lowercase mixes simplified bowls with occasional calligraphic flicks (notably in a, s, r, and t), creating an uneven, sculpted rhythm that stays visually cohesive through consistent terminal treatment and tight proportions.
Best used at large sizes where the collapsed counters and tapered details can be appreciated. It works well for posters, title treatments, branding marks, and packaging that benefit from a bold, stylized voice. For longer text or small sizes, the solid interiors and condensed forms may reduce legibility, so it’s strongest as a statement display face.
The font projects a dark, theatrical personality with a hint of vintage poster lettering. Its solid interiors and razor-edged serifs give it a punchy, enigmatic tone that feels more decorative than neutral, suited to attention-grabbing, stylized typography.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact through condensed proportions, dramatic contrast, and deliberately simplified interiors. By turning many counters into solid masses and emphasizing pointed wedge terminals, it aims for an iconic, ornamental look rather than conventional readability.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, reinforcing a stacked, vertical silhouette. Numerals are highly stylized and graphic, with distinctive filled forms that read more like emblematic shapes than text figures, further pushing the face toward display use.
