A display face built from narrow, vertical stems and sharp, chamfered cut-ins that create a sculpted, chiseled silhouette. Stroke contrast is extreme: heavy main strokes are paired with hairline joins and thin cross-strokes, producing crisp internal apertures and tight counters. Terminals often flare or taper into wedge-like endings, and several letters show subtle notches at joins that read like ink-trap-inspired cuts. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase maintains a restrained x-height with prominent ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm; overall spacing feels fitted and headline-oriented.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display use where its contrast and sculpted terminals can read at size—magazine titles, poster work, event or theater promotion, and bold brand wordmarks. It can work for impactful pull quotes and packaging fronts, but will feel intense and tightly textured in long text or small UI sizes.
The tone is bold and dramatic with a vintage-editorial edge, evoking poster typography, classic mastheads, and stage or film titling. Its sharp cuts and high-contrast structure give it a confident, slightly theatrical voice that feels formal and attention-seeking rather than neutral or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a tall, compressed rhythm and dramatic contrast, while using angular cuts and flared terminals to create a distinctive, carved look. It prioritizes character and hierarchy for display typography over neutrality and continuous-text comfort.
The alphabet shows pronounced stylistic individuality—especially in curved letters and diagonals—creating a lively, slightly irregular texture in running settings. Numerals follow the same chiseled, high-contrast logic, with strong vertical emphasis and distinctive cuts that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
