A condensed display face with extremely tall proportions and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show strong thick–thin alternation, with many characters built from narrow vertical stems and pointed interior cuts that create a carved, faceted feel. A consistent black “shadow” or inline-like wedge appears along one side of many glyphs, producing a directional, poster-style depth effect. Counters are tight and elongated, and curves are pulled into slender ovals, giving the alphabet a tense, vertical rhythm.
Best used at large sizes for posters, headlines, title cards, and logo wordmarks where its tall, narrow silhouette can create a strong vertical presence. It can also work for packaging or event graphics that want a retro-theatrical accent, but its tight counters and extreme detailing make it less suitable for long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone is theatrical and mischievous, blending a vintage showcard energy with an intentionally odd, slightly distorted personality. The aggressive contrast and one-sided shadowing make it feel attention-seeking and dramatic, suited to playful or eccentric messaging rather than quiet reading.
The font appears designed to be a one-off statement face: a condensed, high-drama alphabet that uses faceted cuts and a built-in side shadow to create immediate visual impact. Its deliberate irregularity and exaggerated proportions prioritize character and memorability over neutrality.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding an irregular cadence that enhances the novelty character. The design relies on the side-shadow/inline wedge for much of its visual identity, so it reads best when that directionality is allowed to remain clear and unbroken.
