A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and a distinctly stenciled construction. Many glyphs are interrupted by small vertical breaks or cut-ins that read like punched apertures, creating a rhythmic pattern across rounds and counters. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with squared terminals and slightly condensed curves; diagonals feel brisk and forward-leaning. The overall texture is dense and high-impact, with the cutouts adding visual sparkle and helping counters stay open at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, punchy settings where the stencil cutouts can read clearly—headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand marks. It also fits sports and action-oriented identities, apparel graphics, and packaging where an industrial or tactical tone is desired. For longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes with generous spacing to keep the internal breaks from visually clustering.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian attitude—part stencil, part sports headline—while the repeated internal notches give it a quirky, custom-built signature. It feels energetic and assertive, with a slightly tactical or equipment-marking flavor that adds grit without becoming distressed.
The design appears intended to merge a modern, heavyweight sans with a consistent stencil/ink-trap-like interruption system, adding recognizability and a rugged, manufactured character. The strong slant and compact forms suggest a focus on speed, impact, and branding presence over neutrality.
The cutout motif appears consistently in round letters and numerals (e.g., C, G, O, Q, 0, 8, 9) and also shows up as smaller intrusions in some straight-sided forms, reinforcing a systemized, engineered look. The slant is strong enough to add motion in text lines, making words feel fast and emphatic.
