A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a tall, tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear, with subtly rounded outer curves contrasted by distinctive internal notches and wedge-like cut-ins that create a slightly stencil-like feel. Counters are narrow and often partially pinched, giving letters a compressed, muscular silhouette; round forms (O, Q, 0) read as tall ovals, and joins remain clean and geometric. The overall color is dense and uniform, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp terminals.
Best suited to large sizes where the distinctive notches and tight counters can be appreciated. It works well for headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and branding that needs compact width and high impact, especially in short phrases or punchy statements.
The notched, compressed shapes convey a punchy, poster-ready attitude with a retro-industrial edge. It feels bold and attention-seeking, but the quirky cut-ins add character that keeps it from reading purely utilitarian.
The font appears intended as a compact, high-impact display sans that combines strong geometric structure with deliberate cut-in details to add texture and personality. Its construction prioritizes dense headline color and a distinctive silhouette over long-text comfort.
The design’s signature comes from consistent interior scoops and notches across both cases, which creates texture in headlines and helps differentiate similarly shaped condensed forms. Numerals match the same tall, compact construction for a cohesive display set.
