A heavy, high-contrast display sans with broad, squared letterforms and tight, rectangular counters. Many glyphs show split-looking joins and narrow internal apertures that create a slightly stencil-like, segmented rhythm, especially in rounded letters. Curves tend to resolve into squared shoulders and flattened terminals, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are crisp and steep, giving the design a hard-edged geometry. Numerals follow the same chunky, compact construction, with dense bowls and pronounced cut-ins that keep the overall texture dark and uniform in headlines.
Well suited to posters, large headlines, signage, and branding where a dense, impactful word-shape is desirable. It can also work for packaging or editorial display lines that benefit from an industrial, retro-leaning presence and strong figure/ground contrast.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a utilitarian, industrial flavor that reads as retro signage or editorial headline typography. The segmented interior shapes add drama and tension, producing a strong, slightly mechanical personality rather than a neutral voice.
The design appears intended as a statement display face that maximizes impact through mass, contrast, and segmented interior detailing. Its geometry prioritizes bold word-shapes and a distinctive, poster-ready texture over open counters for long-form reading.
At text sizes the closed counters and narrow openings can thicken visually, so the design reads best when given room to breathe. The distinctive internal cut shapes are a defining motif and will stand out most in short words, logos, and large setting.
