Shadow Vese 7 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Skate' by DearType, 'Geovano' by Grezline Studio, 'ME Plastic' by Sudtipos, and 'Greeka' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display face built from blocky, geometric forms with tight counters and minimal curvature. Many glyphs include irregular internal cut-outs that read like worn paint or punched holes, creating a rough, stencil-adjacent texture. Strokes remain mostly uniform with squared terminals, and the overall rhythm is compact and vertical, keeping word shapes tall and dense. Letterfit feels assertive and tight, helping the alphabet lock into strong, rectangular silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where the distressed cut-outs can be appreciated: posters, event titles, brand marks, packaging headers, and short emphatic statements. It works well when you want compact, high-contrast impact on simple backgrounds, and it’s less appropriate for long passages or small UI text where the internal texture may reduce clarity.
The cut-out texture and dense black mass give the font a gritty, utilitarian attitude with a slightly playful edge. It suggests stamped signage, distressed packaging, or bold headlines meant to feel tactile and high-impact rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a condensed footprint while adding character through deliberate internal cut-outs. The result is a bold headline tool that evokes stamped or weathered lettering without sacrificing a consistent, geometric skeleton.
The internal voids vary from glyph to glyph, so texture becomes part of the voice—more noticeable at larger sizes and more prone to fill-in at small sizes. Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize the punched-out look through prominent inner openings, while straight-sided letters keep a rigid, sign-like structure.
