Sans Contrasted Pune 2 is a very bold, narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ocean Diary' by Forberas Club, 'MC Folettes' by Maulana Creative, 'Shtozer' by Pepper Type, and 'Bolshoi' and 'Glasnost' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with squared contours and sharp, chamfered terminals. Strokes are predominantly vertical and monolinear in feel, but with visible contrast created by tapered joins, notched corners, and narrowed internal counters. The forms are built from rigid rectangular geometry, with tight apertures and tall proportions; many glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and angular transitions that create a slightly segmented, stencil-adjacent impression without full breaks. Numerals and capitals are especially compact and columnar, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and packaging where strong verticality and a compact footprint are desirable. It can also work for signage and labels that benefit from a rigid, industrial look, especially at larger sizes where the cut-in details remain clear.
The overall tone is forceful and mechanical, evoking industrial signage, retro-futurist headlines, and utilitarian display typography. Its hard edges and compressed rhythm feel assertive and disciplined, leaning more toward engineered precision than friendly neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, engineered geometry. Its chamfered terminals and notched transitions suggest a deliberate industrial motif, aiming for a bold, architectural voice in titles and marks.
In running text the compact counters and tight apertures create a dark, continuous color, so spacing and size become important for clarity. Distinctive notches and squared bowls give the face a recognizable silhouette that reads best when set with generous tracking or in short bursts.
