A heavy, condensed display face built from solid, monoline slabs with rounded terminals and frequent cut-in notches. Many counters are reduced or fully closed, creating compact black shapes with occasional small apertures and interior breaks that suggest a punched or stenciled construction. Proportions are tall and tight, with a slightly uneven rhythm across characters that adds a handmade, poster-like feel while keeping a consistent vertical stance. Numerals and capitals read as dense, simplified silhouettes optimized for strong figure–ground contrast at large sizes.
Best suited to big, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and signage where the dense silhouettes can read clearly. It can also work for logotypes and packaging when you want a compact, stamped or cut-out look, ideally with ample spacing and limited text length.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with an industrial, retro edge. Its closed-in forms and notched details give it a rugged, utilitarian character that can also read as quirky and playful in short headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a tight footprint while using closed counters and carved notches to create a distinctive, stencil-adjacent personality. It prioritizes graphic impact and texture over continuous-text readability.
Because many internal openings are collapsed, legibility drops quickly at smaller sizes and in dense settings; the strongest results come from generous tracking and large-scale use. The distinctive notches and rounded ends create a recognizable texture, especially in repeated vertical strokes.
