A heavy, high-contrast display face with a sculpted, almost carved construction. Strokes alternate between broad vertical masses and thinner connecting joins, creating strong vertical stress and a chiseled rhythm across words. Curves are generally round but tightened, with frequent interior notches and wedge-like cut-ins (visible in letters like B, S, a, e, and 8), giving an ink-trap/engraved feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, with occasional small hooks and angled finishes, and counters tend to be compact, emphasizing a dense, punchy silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, packaging, and bold branding where high impact and distinctive texture are desired. The dense forms and sharp contrast reward larger sizes and short-to-medium lines of text, especially in print-like layouts or graphic compositions that benefit from strong silhouette and rhythm.
The overall tone is bold and authoritative with a slightly vintage, print-forward character. The sharp contrast and cut-in details add drama and a crafted, headline-oriented personality that feels at home in editorial and poster contexts.
Likely intended as a statement display face that combines modern blocky clarity with crafted, print-inspired detailing. The notched joins and sculpted counters appear designed to preserve character under heavy weight while adding recognizable personality to titles and branding.
Capital forms read tall and commanding, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, compact texture with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are similarly stylized with distinctive internal cutouts, helping them stand out in display settings. Spacing appears designed to keep words tight and impactful, with strong black shapes dominating at larger sizes.
