A condensed, heavy display face built from planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are mostly vertical with abrupt chamfered corners and clipped terminals, creating an octagonal, chiseled silhouette throughout. Counters are narrow and rectangular, joins are sharp, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with minimal rounding and strong, blocky punctuation and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where the faceted details and narrow counters remain clear—headlines, poster typography, branding marks, packaging, and short signage-style statements. In longer text or small sizes, its tight apertures and dense texture can become visually heavy, so it performs best as an accent or display voice.
The faceted construction and compressed proportions project a stern, industrial tone with a hint of gothic poster tradition. It reads as forceful and utilitarian, evoking signage, stenciled or engraved lettering, and high-impact headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, carved geometric identity. Its consistent chamfering and rectilinear stress suggest a deliberate move away from curves toward a rugged, engineered look that stands out in bold, compact compositions.
Uppercase forms feel especially architectural, with frequent corner cuts that imply beveling; diagonals are used sparingly and appear as hard wedges where needed. The lowercase keeps the same rigid logic and tall proportions, and the numerals follow the same clipped, condensed structure for consistent texture in mixed settings.
