A condensed display face built from tall, rectilinear forms with sharp angles and faceted terminals. Strokes read as heavy outer shells with a consistent inner inline cut, producing a carved, channelled look and strong figure/ground contrast. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of straight segments and chamfered corners, giving counters and bowls a polygonal geometry. The overall rhythm is vertical and tight, with compact apertures and a rigid, modular construction that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, title cards, branding marks, and packaging where its condensed footprint and inline detail can be showcased. It works particularly well for high-contrast black-on-white compositions and large sizes where the interior cutlines remain crisp.
The font conveys a gothic-mechanical character—stern, emphatic, and slightly ominous—while the inline detailing adds a crafted, engraved flavor. Its angularity and compressed stance feel authoritative and engineered rather than casual, lending a dramatic, high-impact tone to short text.
The design appears intended to merge blackletter-inspired rigidity with a modern, geometric build, using inline carving to add ornament without sacrificing weight. Its condensed proportions and hard angles suggest a focus on punchy, space-efficient display typography with a distinctive engraved signature.
Small ink-trap-like notches and corner cuts appear where strokes meet, helping differentiate shapes within the dense construction. The inline is kept narrow and centered, so the face remains bold at distance while revealing its carved detailing at larger sizes.
