A very heavy, compact display face with squared proportions and softened corners. Strokes show pronounced contrast with flattened, horizontal terminals and frequent notches that read like ink traps, creating small cut-ins at joins and counters. Curves are built from broad, geometric segments, and many letters have tight, enclosed counters that deepen the black mass while keeping silhouettes crisp. The overall rhythm is dense and steady, with robust verticals and simplified inner shapes that favor impact over delicacy.
Best for large sizes where its dense weight and distinctive notched joins can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and short signage copy. It can also work for punchy subheads or labels where a strong, compact voice is needed.
The tone is bold and declarative, with a slightly industrial, retro flavor. The trapped/notched detailing adds a utilitarian, engineered feel, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than sharp. Overall it projects confidence and immediacy, suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited space while maintaining clear, repeatable silhouettes. The consistent notches suggest an intention to evoke ink-trap or cut-in detailing for character and robustness, combining a geometric sans skeleton with display-oriented heft.
At text sizes the tight counters and strong contrast push it firmly into display use, where the distinctive notches and chunky forms remain legible and stylistically clear. Numerals share the same compact, heavy construction, supporting consistent emphasis in headlines and callouts.
