A heavy, high-contrast sans with compact counters and a sculpted, slightly angular curve treatment. Strokes tend to taper into sharp terminals and notched joins, giving several glyphs a chiseled, ink-trap-like texture rather than purely geometric smoothness. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) show strong modulation and narrow apertures, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L, T) feel rigid and tightly built. Lowercase features sturdy verticals, a single-storey a, a looped g, and short-armed r with a pronounced shoulder; numerals are compact and weighty with clear silhouettes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and branding where strong contrast and distinctive shapes can carry the layout. It can also work for short bursts of text (captions, pull quotes, packaging copy) when a dense, emphatic typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is confident and declarative, with a slightly retro editorial flavor. Its sharp terminals and dense black shapes create a purposeful, authoritative voice that reads as designed and branded rather than neutral.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, editorial sans presence with added sculptural detail—combining clean overall construction with sharpened terminals and modulated curves to create a memorable, logo-friendly texture.
The rhythm is tight and dark, with relatively small internal whitespace and pronounced stroke modulation that becomes especially visible at display sizes. In text settings the bold color can feel compact and emphatic, with distinctive letterforms that prioritize character over neutrality.
