A heavy, block-forward sans with compact counters and a distinctly sculpted, carved-out feel. Strokes are thick with soft rounding at many joins, and several letters show deep internal notches and wedge-like cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like texture in the bowls and corners. Proportions are slightly condensed overall, with tall verticals and robust horizontals that keep the color dense and consistent. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a short, heavy-shouldered r, and a tall t whose crossbar reads like a strong slab of ink. Numerals are wide and weighty, with the 8 and 9 notably rounded and tightly enclosed.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. It can work well on packaging, event graphics, and sports or entertainment applications that benefit from a tough, energetic voice. Short blocks of text and large-scale signage will show its carved details most clearly.
The font projects a loud, confident tone with a hint of vintage poster lettering. Its chunky geometry and carved details add a playful, slightly rugged personality, making text feel energetic and attention-seeking rather than neutral. The overall rhythm is assertive and graphic, suited to designs that want a bold voice and strong presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, tightly enclosed construction and distinctive internal shaping. Its wedge-like cut-ins suggest an effort to preserve definition in heavy strokes while adding a signature texture that differentiates it from more neutral grotesques.
The distinctive interior cut-ins create pronounced dark–light modulation within counters, which can add texture at display sizes but may tighten readability when set small or in long passages. Capitals and lowercase share a consistent, compact structure, producing a unified, headline-oriented texture with minimal delicacy.
