A heavy, compact sans with broadly squared forms softened by generous rounding. Strokes show clear contrast, with thick verticals and thinner joins and terminals that create an almost chiseled rhythm. Counters are relatively small for the weight, with oval, vertically biased bowls (O, 0, o) and tight apertures in letters like e and s. Several joins and inside corners show notch-like cut-ins reminiscent of ink traps, helping separate shapes at display sizes and giving the texture a carved, dimensional feel. The lowercase is sturdy and geometric, with a single-storey a and g and a short-armed r; figures are large and dominant with sturdy, simplified construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where thick letterforms and strong contrast can be appreciated. It can work well for signage and packaging that needs immediate shelf or distance impact, and for logo wordmarks seeking a chunky, retro-tinged voice. For longer text, it is likely most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading to avoid a cramped, overly dark page color.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a slightly retro, poster-like energy. The rounded block geometry and crisp notches keep it from feeling purely industrial, leaning instead toward friendly impact and a playful, attention-grabbing presence. Its dense color and sculpted joins suggest a voice suited to loud, declarative messaging rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through dense strokes, rounded block geometry, and sculpted internal joins that preserve separation in heavy shapes. Its contrast and notch-like details add character and improve definition, aiming for a distinctive display texture that stands out in short bursts of text.
Spacing reads on the tight side in the sample text, producing a strong, continuous typographic “wall” that amplifies impact. The Q shows a pronounced tail detail, and the W/V/X forms are built from broad diagonals that emphasize the font’s strong, graphic silhouette. At smaller sizes the small counters may close up, while at large sizes the internal notches and contrast become a defining texture.
