A condensed serif stencil with tall proportions and clean, low-contrast strokes. Forms are built from sharp verticals paired with soft, bracketless curves, with consistent stencil breaks that create clear bridges through bowls and stems. Terminals are neatly cut and slightly flared in places, and the overall rhythm is tight and upright, giving the alphabet a columnar, architectural feel. Numerals follow the same cut-and-bridge logic, with stacked internal counters and narrow sidebearings that keep figures compact.
Well-suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, mastheads, and brand marks where a distinctive stencil voice is desired. It also fits packaging and signage applications that benefit from an industrial-but-refined aesthetic and strong vertical presence.
The stencil breaks and elongated silhouettes evoke signage, stage posters, and industrial marking, while the refined curves and serifed structure add a more theatrical, vintage-leaning sophistication. The tone lands between utilitarian and dramatic, with a subtle noir/editorial edge when set large.
The font appears designed to fuse a classic condensed serif skeleton with unmistakable stencil construction, producing a high-impact display face that suggests cut lettering or painted markings while remaining stylistically polished.
The design reads best when the stencil gaps remain clearly resolved; at very small sizes the bridges and internal openings may visually close up. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent vertical emphasis, making mixed-case setting feel formal and display-oriented rather than text-like.
