A heavy, block-constructed face built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, giving many glyphs an octagonal silhouette. Stems and bowls are punctuated by narrow inline cut-outs—most often appearing as vertical slits or small interior windows—creating a carved, dimensional look. Curves are minimized in favor of geometric flats; counters tend to be tight, and joints are blunt and sturdy. The lowercase follows the same engineered logic, with compact forms and squared terminals, while figures share the same notched, faceted construction for consistent texture in display settings.
This font is best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where bold, compact letterforms and inline detailing can carry the visual identity. It performs well on packaging, badges, event graphics, and signage that benefit from a rugged, industrial or athletic voice. For longer passages, it works most effectively in short bursts such as subheads, pull quotes, or label-style typography.
The overall tone is tough and assertive, with a sporty, workwear sensibility that also nods to old poster lettering and Western-influenced wood-type aesthetics. The inline detailing adds a theatrical, sign-painted energy—bold and attention-grabbing—while staying disciplined and mechanical rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through chunky, faceted shapes while using inline cut-outs to add depth and a crafted, engraved character. Its geometry prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent, poster-friendly texture, suggesting a focus on display typography for branding and titling.
The inline cuts act like highlights, producing a strong black-and-white rhythm that can read as slightly striped at larger sizes. The faceted corner treatment is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the font feel cohesive even in mixed-case text.
