A condensed display serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and repeated stencil-like breaks that carve counters and joints into separate segments. Stems are straight and tall with crisp, knife-like terminals and small wedge/teardrop finials appearing on several letters and numerals. Curves are narrow and upright, with oval shapes (O, 0) rendered as tall capsules split by internal bridges, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) kept taut and angular. Overall rhythm is regular and patterned, with consistent bridge placement creating a deliberate, engineered texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its segmented construction and condensed silhouette can be appreciated—posters, title cards, editorial headlines, branding marks, and packaging. It can add a distinctive period flavor to short phrases and logotypes, and works well when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The repeated cutouts and tall proportions give a stage-poster, Art Deco mood—sleek, dramatic, and slightly mysterious. It reads as vintage-modern rather than historical, projecting a crafted, cinematic tone suited to standout messaging.
Likely designed to blend a classic condensed serif structure with a consistent stencil mechanism, producing a decorative, production-ready look that remains orderly and repeatable across the set.
The stencil breaks are integral to the letterforms rather than occasional effects, so the font creates a distinctive striped pattern in words at larger sizes. Numerals echo the same segmented construction, helping headlines and numbering systems feel unified.
