A heavy display face with broad proportions and an assertive, compact rhythm. The letterforms mix sturdy vertical stems with sharp, triangular cut-ins and notched joins that create bright internal angles and add snap to the silhouette. Stroke behavior shows deliberate contrast within otherwise blocky structures, with counters kept relatively tight for a dense, powerful color on the page. Terminals are mostly flat or wedge-like, and many characters show stylized internal wedges (notably in diagonals and bowls) that read as purposeful cutouts rather than calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to large-size applications such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where its strong shapes and angular details can be appreciated. It can also work for short emphatic lines in editorial or promotional layouts, especially where a retro or competitive voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, leaning toward a retro headline sensibility with a slightly industrial edge. The angular cut-ins add energy and attitude, giving text a punchy, competitive feel suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, carved-in detailing that differentiates it from plain block faces. The sharp notches and wedge terminals suggest a purposeful display construction aimed at bold branding and attention-first typography.
In continuous text the dense blackness and tight counters emphasize impact over delicacy; spacing appears relatively open between letters, helping large sizes remain legible despite the heavy weight. Numerals are robust and headline-oriented, matching the letterforms’ squared geometry and sharp internal wedges.
