A condensed display sans with a tall, compact stance and strongly graphic silhouettes. Strokes stay largely even with only modest modulation, while terminals frequently resolve into sharp wedges and notched cuts that create a chiseled, ink-trap-like sparkle. Curved letters are built from rounded-rectangle bowls and tight counters, giving O/C/G/e a superelliptical feel, contrasted by pointed joins on forms like M, N, V, W, and Y. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s verticality and uses simplified, sturdy shapes with closed apertures and firm, blocky punctuation and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and short-form editorial or entertainment typography where its narrow footprint and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can work well for branding, packaging, and logotypes that want a vintage-gothic, chiseled look, especially in high-contrast layouts. For long text, it will be more effective as an accent face rather than a primary reading font.
The overall tone is gothic and theatrical, with a vintage poster sensibility and a slightly industrial edge. The repeated wedge terminals and narrow proportions add tension and drama, while the rounded bowls keep it from feeling harsh. It reads as confident and declarative—more headline than paragraph.
The design appears intended as a compact, attention-grabbing display sans that fuses rounded-rectangular construction with sharp, cut-in terminals. Its consistent vertical rhythm and stylized joins suggest a focus on impact and a recognizable word shape for titling and identity work.
Distinctive details include the sharp, triangular entry/exit cuts on many stems, the pointed inner joins on M/N/W, and the compact counters that boost darkness at small sizes. The numerals match the letterforms’ condensed rhythm, with angular cuts that reinforce the carved, display-oriented texture.
