A heavy, block-driven sans with extreme stroke contrast created by vertical incisions and narrow slit-like counters rather than gradual modulation. Many letters are built from upright rectangular masses with rounded-rectangle curves on bowls, producing a superellipse-like geometry and a tightly packed rhythm. The cut-ins often run through the center of strokes, giving forms a segmented, almost stencil impression, while terminals are typically flat and abrupt with occasional small bracket-like notches. Curves stay broad and controlled, and the overall texture reads dense and dark with crisp interior voids.
Best suited to display applications where the segmented, high-impact shapes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title cards, packaging, and bold brand marks. It works especially well when paired with generous tracking and ample size, where the interior cuts remain legible and contribute to a distinctive texture.
The tone is loud and commanding, with a retro industrial and sports-poster energy. Its sliced interiors add a mechanical, engineered feel that can read both decorative and utilitarian, depending on scale and spacing. The overall impression is punchy, confident, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through dense, geometric silhouettes and deliberate internal cutouts that create contrast and memorability. It prioritizes graphic presence over neutrality, aiming for a strong identity in short phrases and branding contexts.
In text settings the interior slits and minimal counters can close up visually at smaller sizes, while at display sizes they become a defining graphic feature. Numerals and round letters emphasize the same rounded-rectangle construction, helping the set feel consistent and logo-ready.
