A condensed display serif with tall, vertical proportions and a strong, even rhythm. Strokes are mostly straight and monoline in feel, with sharp, chiseled terminals and small wedge-like serifs that create a faceted, cut-from-metal impression. Curves are minimized into angled joins and squared-off bowls; counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, reinforcing the tight, upright texture. The overall construction is crisp and geometric, with consistent vertical stems and deliberately abrupt endings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, wordmarks, and short impactful phrases where its condensed, chiseled texture can dominate the page. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a vintage-industrial or gothic-ceremonial flavor. For longer text, its narrow counters and dense vertical rhythm are likely more effective in larger sizes or with generous tracking.
The font conveys a stern, gothic-leaning tone with a vintage poster sensibility. Its rigid geometry and pointed terminals feel authoritative and ceremonial, suggesting tradition, formality, and a slightly ominous edge. The condensed stance adds urgency and intensity, making the texture feel compact and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice by combining condensed proportions with carved, wedge-serif detailing. Its angular construction and minimized curves suggest a deliberate move toward a stamped or engraved look that reads as bold, traditional, and attention-grabbing.
Uppercase forms read particularly monumental due to their height and narrow width, while lowercase maintains the same carved, angular logic for a cohesive system. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared construction, keeping the overall color of text dense and high-impact at display sizes.
