A condensed, high-contrast display face built from crisp, angular forms and carved counters that read like cut-outs. Strokes are thin and sharp against large negative shapes, with pointed terminals, wedge-like joins, and occasional notches that create a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm. Curves (notably in C/O/Q and the numerals) stay tall and tight, while horizontals and crossbars are minimal and often appear as narrow slits. Spacing feels compact and blocky, reinforcing a columnar texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, editorial headlines, title cards, album artwork, and packaging where its carved details can be appreciated. It can also work for logos or badges when given enough size and contrast to keep the inner cut-outs legible.
The overall tone is theatrical and slightly uncanny—like lettering sliced from paper or scratched into a surface—while still maintaining a clean, graphic clarity. It balances vintage poster energy with a playful, cryptic edge, making lines of text feel energetic and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint, using carved counters and sharp terminals to create a distinctive, cut-out look. The intent appears to be a stylized display voice that stands apart from conventional condensed faces while staying readable in bold, graphic compositions.
The design relies on interior cut-outs and slim openings to define letter structure, so small sizes may close up visually. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent condensed silhouette, and the figures match the same tight, vertical stance for a cohesive headline palette.
