A heavy, compact sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and mostly squared-off terminals. Curves are full and somewhat condensed, while vertical strokes dominate, creating a strong, upright rhythm. Counters are relatively tight (notably in B, R, a, e), and apertures tend to be narrow, which increases the dense, poster-like color. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, with sturdy, simplified forms and short joins; numerals are bold and straightforward with wide, flat horizontals and decisive curves.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, mastheads, posters, and bold campaign lines where its dense weight and contrast can shine. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a strong, compact wordmark presence, especially in short phrases or large typographic treatments.
The overall tone is confident and assertive, with a slightly vintage editorial feel. Its dense weight and crisp, high-contrast construction give it a punchy, attention-grabbing presence that reads as serious and commanding rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining a sans foundation with noticeable contrast for a more editorial, statement-making voice. Its simplified lowercase and squared finishing details prioritize bold readability and graphic presence in display use.
At larger sizes, the contrast and tight counters add character and impact; at smaller sizes the compact interior spaces and narrow apertures may reduce clarity. The design’s squared terminals and strong verticals create a disciplined, institutional texture while still feeling energetic in display settings.
