A condensed display face with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes alternate between heavy, blocky stems and very fine hairline connections, producing a crisp, carved rhythm. Counters are generally tall and tight, with occasional narrow apertures, and several glyphs show subtle pinch points where thin strokes meet heavy verticals, heightening the sense of tension and precision. The overall silhouette is upright and compact, designed to stack tightly while remaining visually striking at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and poster typography where its condensed width and high-contrast detail can be appreciated. It can add impact to branding and packaging titles, especially in short phrases, pull quotes, and bold editorial layouts that benefit from a dramatic, sculpted texture.
The font conveys a dramatic, no-nonsense tone with a theatrical edge, combining bold mass with razor-thin details. Its high-contrast construction gives it a refined, editorial attitude, while the condensed proportions and sharp joins add a slightly retro, headline-driven energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using exaggerated contrast and tight proportions to create a striking, upscale display voice. Its sharp terminals and hairline joins suggest a goal of blending bold presence with refined detailing for attention-grabbing typographic moments.
The alphabet shows consistent vertical stress across both cases, with distinctive thin diagonals on letters like X and Y and hairline interior joins that create a cut-in, sculpted look. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, pairing solid verticals with delicate connecting strokes, which reinforces a cohesive display personality across text and figures.
