A tall, condensed display face built from rigid vertical stems and crisp, chamfered corners. The letterforms are constructed as dark outer strokes with a narrow inner cut that runs through most stems, creating a strong inline channel and a quasi-engraved look. Curves are minimized into faceted, octagonal bowls and counters, while joins and terminals keep a squared, mechanical precision. Spacing is tight and rhythm is strongly vertical, with simplified crossbars and compact apertures that keep the texture dense and graphic.
Best suited for posters, headlines, signage, and logo wordmarks where the inline carving can read clearly. It also works well on labels and packaging that benefit from a vintage industrial or gothic-leaning voice, especially in short phrases and high-contrast layouts.
The overall tone feels vintage-industrial and slightly gothic, like painted signage or stamped lettering. Its faceted geometry and carved inner lines evoke metalwork, engraving, or early 20th‑century display typography, giving headlines a commanding, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, attention-grabbing display texture with an engraved inline effect. By pairing faceted geometry with consistent internal cut lines, it aims to provide a distinctive, craft-like presence while maintaining a sturdy, sign-ready structure.
The inline cutouts create prominent internal highlights that remain visible at display sizes but can start to close up when set small or tightly tracked. The faceting on round letters (such as O/C/G) and the narrow proportions produce a distinctive, architectural silhouette that reads especially well in all caps.
