A compact, heavy, all-purpose display sans with crisp, wedge-like terminals and subtly faceted curves. Strokes stay robust with minimal modulation, while corners alternate between sharp cuts and slightly softened joins, creating a chiseled silhouette. The uppercase is broad-shouldered and tightly fit, with simplified bowls and angled cuts in letters like C, G, S, and Q. Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions (notably a and g), with short ascenders/descenders and a dense rhythm that keeps words dark and unified.
This font is best suited to headline and display settings where its dense color and faceted terminals can read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that need a bold, compact voice, and it can also handle short subheads where a strong graphic rhythm is desired.
The overall tone feels poster-forward and slightly vintage, like hand-cut lettering translated into a consistent digital style. Its chunky forms and clipped curves give it a confident, no-nonsense presence, while the angled details add a hint of quirk and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, space-efficient display face with a distinctive cut, wedge-terminal personality—combining straightforward sans construction with carved details that add character without becoming ornamental.
Figures are stout and attention-grabbing, with strong silhouettes and distinct interior counters that remain readable at larger sizes. The ampersand and punctuation shown in the sample text match the same cut-in, wedge-terminal logic, helping long headlines keep a cohesive texture.
