A tall, compressed display face built from heavy vertical strokes paired with razor-thin horizontals and hairline connectors. Counters are often pinched or split by narrow internal gaps, creating a stencil-like rhythm and a strong black/white striping effect in letters such as M, N, W, and the numerals. Terminals tend to be squared off with small notches and occasional hooked or droplet-like details, giving many glyphs a sculpted, cut-out feel. Overall spacing reads tight and vertical, with a deliberately constructed, modular geometry rather than smooth pen-driven curves.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, and packaging where its vertical striping and high-contrast construction can read as a graphic motif. It can also work for branding or event graphics when a retro-theatrical, unconventional display voice is desired, but it is likely to feel busy in long text passages.
The tone is dramatic and slightly eccentric, mixing vintage marquee/Art Deco energy with an experimental, engineered feel. Its sharp contrast and striped interiors create a sense of motion and spectacle, leaning toward playful oddness rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to create a striking, period-tinged display look through extreme contrast, compressed proportions, and intentionally irregular interior cuts. The distinctive slit counters and notched terminals suggest a goal of turning letterforms into bold graphic shapes that stand out immediately.
The internal white slits and extreme hairlines become prominent texture at text sizes, so the font’s visual character is driven as much by its negative space as by its strokes. Figures and capitals carry the strongest personality; lowercase forms keep the same compressed stance, which emphasizes a uniform vertical cadence across words.
