A heavy, display-oriented sans with pronounced contrast and a largely squarish, architectural construction. Curves are broad and simplified, while counters are often tight and vertically oriented, creating a compact internal rhythm. Terminals tend toward flat cuts and blunt joins, and the overall silhouette reads sturdy and block-like, with occasional angular notches and crisp, carved-looking interior shapes that heighten the dramatic black/white patterning. Proportions feel expansive in the caps with tall, solid stems and short crossbars, yielding a dense, high-impact texture in words and headlines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and branding where strong visual impact is desired. It can work effectively on packaging and promotional graphics, especially when ample size and spacing are available to preserve the distinctive counters and contrast.
The tone is bold and attention-forward, with a retro poster sensibility and a slightly industrial, “cut from solid” feel. Its stark internal contrast and compact counters give it a confident, declarative voice suited to emphatic messaging rather than subtle reading.
The design appears intended to maximize bold presence and graphic texture through simplified geometry and dramatic contrast, producing a memorable, high-ink display style for attention-grabbing typographic settings.
In running text, the dense color and narrow apertures can create a strong, almost stencil-like patterning at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest presence, while the lowercase maintains a similarly weighty, display-first character.
