A heavy, high-contrast sans with sculpted, wedge-cut terminals and frequent notches that create a chiseled, almost stenciled rhythm. Strokes alternate between thick vertical masses and thinner connecting curves, producing strong light–dark patterning and pronounced interior counters. The letterforms are mostly monolinear in structure but stylized with deep cut-ins at joins and terminals, giving many glyphs a split or inset look (notably in curves and bowls). Proportions skew expansive with sturdy caps and a relatively moderate lowercase, and numerals echo the same carved, high-impact construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and other short, high-impact settings where the carved terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for magazine cover lines, packaging, and title treatments, especially with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a vintage showcard or poster energy. Its sharp cut-ins and bold silhouettes feel decorative and slightly futuristic at once, projecting confidence and spectacle rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence through high contrast and stylized, cut-in terminals, creating a signature texture that stands apart from standard grotesques. Its construction prioritizes distinctive display character and memorable word shapes over quiet readability.
Round letters like O, C, and G emphasize the design’s signature cut-outs, which can read like ink traps or deliberate carvings at larger sizes. In text, the strong contrast and distinctive terminals create a rhythmic, headline-forward texture that becomes busy if tightly set or used at small sizes.
