A tightly drawn, vertical display face built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Stems are consistently sturdy with little visible modulation, while terminals often end in small bevels that give letters an inset, cut-from-metal look. Proportions are compact and columnar with long ascenders and a tall x-height, creating an even, upright rhythm; counters are narrow and mostly rectangular, keeping the texture dense and continuous. Numerals and capitals follow the same angular logic, with simplified geometry and sharp internal joins that stay legible at larger sizes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and branded wordmarks where a compact, vertical presence is desirable. It can also work for signage-style applications, album/film titles, and editorial display settings that want a sharp, industrial edge.
The overall tone is severe and mechanical, with a hint of historical blackletter atmosphere translated into a cleaner, more engineered vocabulary. Its condensed, faceted silhouettes evoke signage, machinery markings, and vintage poster typography—assertive, disciplined, and slightly dramatic.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint by using straight, faceted construction and a tall internal structure. It prioritizes a consistent, architectural texture and a distinctive angular voice over neutral text readability.
The design’s repeated chamfers and near-rectilinear bowls create a strong “built” aesthetic that reads best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing. Narrow apertures and stacked verticals can visually fuse in dense settings, so it benefits from larger point sizes and restrained copy lengths.
