Sans Contrasted Puno 9 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Odradeck' by Harvester Type, 'Shtozer' by Pepper Type, 'Motte' by TypeClassHeroes, and 'Glyphic Neue' by Typeco (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular display sans with an octagonal, chamfered construction and crisp, straight-sided curves. Strokes are predominantly vertical and blocky, with selective thinning and notched joins that introduce contrast and internal articulation (notably in bowls and counters). Terminals end in flat cuts and clipped corners, producing a faceted silhouette. Spacing and widths vary by letter, and the overall rhythm is dense and upright, with compact counters that favor impact over openness.
Best suited for large sizes where its chamfered geometry and internal notches can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, labels, and bold packaging. It also works well for short signage phrases and branding applications that benefit from a tough, industrial or gothic-tinged voice; extended body text may feel dense due to the tight counters and heavy color.
The face conveys a stern, mechanical confidence with a distinctly gothic/blackletter-adjacent flavor, translated into a modern block form. Its sharp bevels and compressed internal spaces give it a rugged, industrial tone, while the consistent faceting reads as retro and emblematic—suited to bold statements and commanding headlines.
The design appears intended to modernize a gothic/industrial display tradition through simplified, faceted construction and strong vertical massing. Its consistent corner clipping and selective contrast seem aimed at maximizing impact while keeping a clean, sans-based structure for contemporary headline use.
Uppercase forms are especially monumental, with squared shoulders and prominent corner cuts; lowercase echoes the same geometry, keeping a tight, uniform texture in text lines. Numerals match the faceted construction and maintain strong vertical emphasis, supporting a cohesive set for signage-style compositions.
