A condensed display slab with heavy vertical emphasis, flat unbracketed slabs, and crisp, squared terminals. Stems are thick and confident while joins and interior corners show tight cut-ins that create a slightly stenciled/ink-trap impression, helping counters stay open at heavy weight. Curves (C, O, S) are compact and upright, with narrow apertures and a consistent, poster-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed proportions, maintaining strong color and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where strong contrast against the page is desired, such as posters, display typography, signage, and bold packaging labels. It can also work for logo wordmarks that benefit from a condensed, slab-driven silhouette, especially in single-weight applications.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with a classic poster and headline feel that nods to western and industrial signage. Its condensed heft reads tough and attention-seeking, favoring impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, combining sturdy slab construction with compact proportions and strategically carved interior shapes to preserve legibility at heavy weight.
The tight spacing and dense texture create a strong vertical cadence; at smaller sizes the internal cut-ins and narrow counters may begin to merge, while at larger sizes they become a distinctive stylistic detail. Mixed-case text retains a uniform, commanding presence rather than a bookish flow.
