Sans Contrasted Puni 11 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Bongo' by Bogusky 2, 'Motte' by TypeClassHeroes, and 'Glyphic Neue' by Typeco (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, squared display sans with rounded outer corners and tightly controlled rectangular counters. The design relies on blocky vertical stems and stepped cut-ins that create narrow internal apertures, producing a distinctly modular, almost stencil-like construction. Curves are minimized and translated into chamfers and soft-cornered rectangles, with occasional diagonal notches (notably in forms like K, W, X) to keep joints crisp. Spacing feels compact and rhythmically uniform, while the letterforms maintain strong silhouette clarity even as interior openings stay relatively small.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and signage where its dense, blocky construction can carry visual weight. It can also work for UI labels or game/tech graphics when used at sizes that preserve its tight counters and internal cut-ins.
The overall tone is forceful and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era graphics, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its squared geometry and carved-in counters read as engineered and utilitarian, giving text a commanding, poster-forward presence with a slightly retro-tech flavor.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact through geometric, machined letterforms that balance solid mass with carved negative space. Its construction suggests a deliberate nod to industrial and retro-digital aesthetics while maintaining consistent, system-like rhythm across the set.
Uppercase forms appear especially monumental and sign-like, while lowercase adopts similarly constructed shapes that can feel close to small caps in presence. Numerals follow the same block logic, favoring squared bowls and rectangular cutouts that keep the set visually cohesive.
