A heavy, compact display face with squared-off geometry and subtly sculpted curves. Strokes show clear modulation, with thick verticals and narrowed joins that create an ink-trap-like pinching in tight corners and counters. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, with wedge-like shaping on some curves, giving letters a carved, machined look. Counters tend to be tall and narrow, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with minimal decorative detail beyond the internal shaping.
Best suited to large sizes where its contrast and tight internal shaping can be appreciated—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, bold branding, and packaging fronts. It can also work for short, high-impact callouts or labels where a compact, attention-grabbing texture is desired.
The tone is forceful and industrial, with a retro poster sensibility. Its dense color and chiseled inner forms feel utilitarian and authoritative, evoking signage, stenciled marks, and bold editorial headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, pairing a sans-like skeleton with sculpted interiors to preserve clarity in heavy strokes. The internal pinching and wedge terminals appear intended to add character and prevent forms from clogging, while maintaining a strong, industrial presence.
Round letters (like O/C) read as squared ovals rather than true circles, contributing to a rigid, engineered feel. Several lowercase forms show distinctive interior cut-ins that emphasize the contrast and add visual bite at small apertures.
