A tall, tightly condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and an emphatically vertical build. Curves are largely replaced by crisp planar cuts, producing chamfered corners and faceted bowls that read as octagonal or shield-like forms. Terminals are flat and squared, counters are narrow and elongated, and the overall rhythm is rigid and columnar, with a distinctly mechanical, sign-like cadence across words and lines.
Best suited for headlines and short display settings where its condensed width and faceted construction can create strong impact. It works well for posters, wordmarks, packaging, and signage—especially where a retro-modern or architectural feel is desired. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous tracking help maintain legibility.
The faceted geometry and extreme verticality evoke Art Deco display lettering and early-modern industrial graphics. It feels assertive and theatrical, with a sleek, urban tone that suggests marquee titles, architecture, and streamlined machinery rather than everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while expressing a stylized, faceted geometry. Its uniform strokes and planar cuts prioritize bold graphic identity and a period-evocative, Deco-leaning display character over neutral readability.
In running text the tight apertures and compressed counters create strong texture and a dark, continuous color, so spacing and size become critical for clarity. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, monolithic stance, reinforcing a consistent, poster-forward voice.
