A tall, tightly set display sans with heavy, monoline strokes and a strongly rectilinear construction. Forms are built from straight stems and sharp, chamfered corners, with minimal curvature and frequent wedge-like notches that create a carved, blackletter-adjacent rhythm while staying essentially sans in structure. Counters are compact and often rectangular, producing a dark, compact texture and pronounced vertical emphasis. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s angular logic, with simplified bowls and short, squared terminals; numerals follow the same blocky, cut-in detailing for a consistent, poster-ready color.
Best suited for large-size applications where its angular detailing can be appreciated: posters, event titles, album or game titles, brand marks, and bold packaging. It can also work for short, high-impact UI labels or signage when a compact, commanding presence is desired.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a vintage, gothic-leaning edge. Its sharp cuts and dense vertical cadence feel assertive and mechanical, suggesting signage, headlines, and bold statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, combining a modern sans framework with chiseled, gothic-inspired cuts to create a distinctive, high-contrast-in-shape (rather than stroke) display voice.
The distinctive chamfered joints and repeated internal notches create a recognizable rhythm across words, especially in mixed-case text. Spacing appears naturally tight due to the compressed letterforms, and the strong verticals dominate the overall silhouette, making the design read as structured and architectural.
