A heavy, blocky sans built from squared, superellipse-like forms with generously rounded corners and tight interior counters. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but with pronounced contrast created by narrow vertical cut-ins and slot-like apertures, giving many letters a partially carved, stencil-adjacent look. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with caps that read slightly condensed and a lowercase that maintains sturdy, rectangular silhouettes; joins and terminals often feature stepped notches and ink-trap-like scoops that sharpen the texture at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same squared, punchy construction, keeping a consistent, engineered geometry across the set.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, and packaging where maximum impact is desired. It also works well for athletic identities, event graphics, and short bursts of copy on labels or signage, especially when the distinctive cut-in details can be shown clearly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and mechanical, evoking signage, athletic branding, and rugged product labeling. Its cut-in details add a technical, slightly aggressive edge that feels retro-industrial rather than minimalist, lending strong presence and a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-rectangle geometry with carved, ink-trap-like detailing to create a sturdy, industrial display voice. It prioritizes bold presence, compact word shapes, and a recognizable internal pattern that differentiates it from plain geometric sans styles.
Spacing appears tight by nature of the broad letterforms and enclosed counters, producing a dense, high-impact color in text. The distinctive internal slots and notches become a defining pattern when set in words, so it rewards larger sizes where these details remain crisp and intentional.
