A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and a tall lowercase that keeps the texture dense. Strokes are mostly monolinear in feel, but the design shows deliberate interior notches and small cut-ins at joins and counters, giving several letters a subtle stencil-like construction. Corners are generally squared-off with occasional rounding, and curves are broad and simplified, producing a strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase follows the same compressed, blocky logic as the caps, with sturdy stems and minimal terminal finesse for maximum impact.
Well suited to display settings such as posters, punchy headlines, logotypes, packaging, and bold signage where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for short UI labels or section titles when strong emphasis and tight horizontal footprint are priorities.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, balancing a retro, sign-paint and industrial sensibility with a contemporary, graphic sharpness. The cut-in details add a slightly mechanical flavor, making the font feel engineered rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal width, using simplified geometry and strategic cut-ins to keep shapes distinct and add character. It prioritizes recognizability and graphic presence over subtle text readability.
The design reads best when set large, where the internal notches and compact counters remain clear; at smaller sizes the dense interior spaces may fill in. Numerals match the letterforms’ blunt, high-impact construction and contribute to a cohesive, headline-oriented texture.
