This typeface combines heavy, block-like stems with selective thinning in curves and joins, creating a punchy, high-contrast rhythm within a largely sans construction. Letterforms are predominantly geometric, with broad bowls, squared shoulders, and sharp internal corners where diagonals meet. Curved characters like C, G, O, and S show pronounced thick–thin transitions, while verticals and horizontals remain stout and steady, producing a strong dark color on the line. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are relatively tight, reinforcing a dense, impactful texture in words and headlines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong typographic presence is needed. It can also work for packaging and short editorial display settings, particularly when set with generous spacing and at sizes where the tight apertures and compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and graphic, with an editorial/poster sensibility that feels slightly retro and display-driven. Its dramatic weight distribution and wide, emphatic shapes read as confident and attention-seeking rather than neutral or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy geometry paired with dramatic internal modulation, giving familiar sans silhouettes a distinctive, stylized voice for display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent geometric logic, with a single-storey “a” and sturdy, simplified lowercase forms that keep the word image chunky. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, display-oriented approach, with rounded figures showing strong modulation that stands out in large sizes.
