A heavy, display-oriented sans with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharply carved interior counters. Many glyphs show vertical “cut” notches and slit-like openings that create a stencil-like, machined texture, especially in rounded forms and bowls. Curves are broad and geometric, with compact apertures and squared-off terminals that keep the silhouette crisp. Spacing reads relatively tight in text, and the strong dark mass produces a dense rhythm with frequent vertical accents.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, brand marks, packaging fronts, and campaign lockups where the carved contrast can be appreciated. It can work for pull quotes or section openers, but long paragraphs may feel visually heavy due to the dense color and intricate counters.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a retro-industrial edge. The notched counters and high-contrast strokes give it a crafted, emblematic feel—confident, slightly noir, and attention-seeking—suited to statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense weight, pronounced contrast, and distinctive cutaway counters that create a memorable signature. It aims to balance geometric simplicity with a stylized, stencil-like detailing to stand out in display typography.
Round letters and numerals rely on internal cutouts for character, which increases patterning at larger sizes but can reduce clarity in small settings. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping headings feel unified even in mixed-case text.
