A heavy, high-contrast display sans with squared proportions and subtly chiseled curves. Stems read as dense vertical slabs, while bowls and joins show pinched transitions and small wedge-like cut-ins that create a carved, slightly ink-trap impression. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a sturdy, compressed rhythm. Uppercase forms feel tall and commanding, and the lowercase maintains a large x-height with simplified, robust shapes that hold up well at headline sizes.
Best suited for large-scale typography where density and contrast can read clearly—posters, mastheads, promotional headlines, and bold brand marks. It can also work for packaging or labels that need a forceful, retro-leaning presence, but the tight counters suggest avoiding small text or long paragraphs.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a vintage-industrial edge reminiscent of classic poster lettering and bold editorial titling. Its sharp transitions and dark texture project urgency and authority, while the sculpted details add a crafted, slightly theatrical flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, carved silhouette: strong verticals, tight internal space, and sculpted joins that keep large black shapes from feeling flat. It aims for an attention-grabbing display voice that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
In running sample text the font produces a very dark color and strong vertical cadence, with spacing that emphasizes punch over airiness. The numerals and capitals share the same blocky, carved logic, helping create a consistent headline voice across letters and figures.
