A heavy, compact display face built from blunt geometric masses and tight counters. Many letters show collapsed or nearly closed interior spaces, with distinctive bite-like notches and wedge cut-ins that interrupt bowls and joins. Curves are simplified into broad arcs, terminals are mostly flat, and strokes keep an even, monolithic weight that creates a strong silhouette. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, adding a slightly irregular rhythm while maintaining a consistent, solid overall color.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, branding marks, labels, and bold callouts where the letter silhouettes can carry the message. It works especially well in large-scale print or on-screen display applications where its cut-in details and solid shapes remain clear.
The tone is loud and attention-seeking, with a playful toughness that reads as retro-industrial. The filled counters and sharp cut-ins give it a stamped or cutout feel, suggesting signage, packaging, and bold headline energy rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact through dense black shapes and memorable cut-in detailing, creating a distinctive voice that stands apart from standard grotesks or slabs. The irregular, notched construction prioritizes character and instant recognition in display typography.
The lowercase maintains large, simplified forms with minimal interior differentiation, and several characters rely on distinctive notches for recognition at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same chunky construction, staying highly graphic and poster-like. At small sizes, the collapsed counters may reduce legibility, especially in dense text.
