A compact, heavy display face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and broad, sculpted bowls. Strokes terminate in sharp wedge-like cuts that read as small triangular notches on curves and joins, creating a crisp, chiseled edge rather than rounded terminals. Uppercase forms are tall and imposing with tight internal counters, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm with clear, upright construction and minimal curvature softness. Numerals follow the same dense, high-impact pattern, with strong verticals and angular cut-ins that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, and short display copy where its contrast and wedge terminals can read clearly and provide character. It works well in branding and packaging that want a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice, and in posters or promo graphics that need immediate impact at a glance.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, mixing a vintage poster sensibility with a disciplined, editorial seriousness. Its sharp cut terminals and strong contrast add drama and a slightly industrial, competitive energy, making it feel confident and attention-seeking without becoming playful.
The font appears intended as a high-impact display option that merges strong, compact letterforms with dramatic contrast and distinctive wedge terminals. Its consistent angular cut language suggests an aim to create a recognizable texture in bold editorial and promotional typography.
The design relies on repeated wedge cuts and deep joins to create texture at large sizes; in longer lines the dense color can feel intense, so it naturally favors headings over extended reading. Round letters like O/Q and C/S show the most pronounced cut-ins, which become a signature detail in text settings.
