A heavy, compact sans with squared overall construction softened by rounded corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with frequent carved-out notches and triangular bite-like cut-ins at joints and terminals that create an ink-trap feel and a distinctive, engineered silhouette. Counters are tight and often squarish; curves are simplified into broad arcs, giving letters a blocky rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and utilitarian with short, flat terminals, while many capitals show more dramatic internal cutouts (notably in diagonals and at the tops of V/W/Y), producing a rugged, stamped appearance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its notched detailing and stout silhouettes can be appreciated. It can also work for signage or labels that benefit from a rugged, high-impact sans, especially in short phrases and display settings.
The cut-in terminals and sturdy blocks give the face an industrial, workwear tone with a slightly playful, cartoon-mechanical edge. It reads as confident and attention-seeking, with a hint of retro display styling rather than neutral modern minimalism.
Likely designed as a distinctive display sans that borrows industrial and stencil-like cues, using systematic cut-ins to create character, improve separation at joins, and produce a memorable, branded texture in large-scale typography.
The design relies on consistent internal notching as a unifying motif, which adds texture at large sizes but can make intricate shapes (like S, a, e, and the diagonal capitals) feel busier at smaller text sizes. Numerals share the same squared, compact construction and tight counters, supporting a cohesive headline set.
