A heavy, angular display sans with chiseled corners and irregular, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are mostly straight with slight optical tapering and occasional asymmetry that gives letters a hand-cut, carved feel rather than geometric precision. Counters skew rectangular and compact, with squarish bowls in forms like O/Q and tight apertures in C/S-like shapes. Uppercase dominates with tall, narrow proportions, while the lowercase is simplified and stylized to match, producing a jumpy rhythm and noticeably uneven internal spacing across words.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where a strong, stylized voice is desired. It can work well for logos, packaging, and event or venue signage that benefits from an industrial or gothic-leaning display feel, but is less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone reads bold and dramatic, with a slightly eccentric, theatrical edge. Its sharp cuts and dense black shapes evoke signage and poster lettering, while the quirky inconsistencies add a crafty, playful attitude rather than strict modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, black letterforms and a distinctive carved silhouette. Its controlled angular system suggests a purposeful display face aimed at character and recognizability over neutrality, with enough irregularity to feel handcrafted.
Distinctive notches and stepped joins appear throughout, creating a cut-paper silhouette that stays consistent across letters and numerals. Because many shapes are compact and angular, legibility holds best at larger sizes where the internal counters and small cut-ins have room to breathe.
