A very heavy, all-caps-forward sans with pronounced internal shaping and sharp, wedge-like cut-ins that create a carved, chiseled impression. Curves are tightened into vertical ovals and partial rounds, while many joins show small notches or ink-trap-like apertures that open counters and add bite at corners. Terminals tend toward teardrop or wedge forms, giving letters like C, S, J, and G a distinctive sculpted finish. Lowercase is sturdy and compact with a robust, rectangular rhythm; counters remain legible thanks to deliberate cutaways, and numerals are similarly blocky with strong interior contrast.
Best suited to display settings where its heavy color and sculpted cut-ins can be appreciated—headlines, posters, cover lines, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section openers, especially at larger sizes where the counters and notches stay crisp.
The font reads bold and declarative, with a retro-industrial flavor that feels both editorial and display-driven. Its carved details and dramatic dark mass evoke classic headline typography, giving text a confident, slightly theatrical tone rather than a neutral utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, carved-looking detail system that preserves readability in dense, heavy letterforms. It aims to combine a sans foundation with expressive internal shaping to create a memorable headline texture.
Spacing appears tight but controlled in the sample text, with the distinctive corner cut-ins helping keep dense paragraphs from clogging at large sizes. The design emphasizes silhouette and interior negative shapes more than stroke finesse, producing a high-impact texture in headlines and short lines.
