A heavy display sans with pronounced thick–thin modulation and frequent wedge-like cut-ins that create a sculpted, almost stencil-like rhythm. Many joins and terminals are sharply notched or flared, producing high-contrast interior counters and distinctive black–white interlocks. Rounded letters lean toward geometric bowls, while verticals read as dense slabs, giving the design a bold, architectural presence. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a large dot on i/j, reinforcing a punchy, simplified construction at text sizes.
Best suited for short-form typography such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where the distinctive notches and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for large signage or editorial display pull-quotes, but will generally be less comfortable for dense body copy due to its strong internal shaping.
The overall tone is dramatic and playful, with a strong retro flavor that feels suited to titles meant to command attention. Its sharp notches and swelling strokes add a theatrical, slightly eccentric character that reads as deliberate and stylized rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to maximize impact through extreme weight, sculpted contrast, and repeated wedge cuts that unify the alphabet into a recognizable visual system. The intention seems to be a display face that evokes vintage poster lettering while remaining clean and sans-led in overall construction.
The design relies on consistent cut shapes across many glyphs, which creates a recognizable texture in words but also introduces busy internal shapes in tight settings. Numerals and capitals appear especially poster-oriented, with bold silhouettes and decorative counter-shaping that becomes a key part of the look.
