A chunky, heavy sans with blocky construction and pronounced chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with blunt terminals, and many joins show small notches or cut-ins that create a subtle stencil-like segmentation. Counters tend to be compact and squared-off, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready silhouette. The overall rhythm is steady and upright, with simplified forms and minimal stroke modulation that emphasize solidity over finesse.
Best suited for headlines, posters, logos, and short display lines where its dense shapes and distinctive notches can carry visual personality. It can also work well on packaging and merchandise graphics that benefit from a tough, tactile presence. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes with generous spacing to keep counters from filling in visually.
The notched, cut-out detailing and squared massing lend a rugged, utilitarian tone that feels industrial and slightly retro. At the same time, the rounded-square geometry and compact counters keep it friendly and toy-like rather than severe, making it read as bold, punchy, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as an impact-driven display sans that borrows from stencil and industrial sign aesthetics while keeping forms simple and approachable. Its consistent, modular geometry and cut-in details suggest a goal of high recognizability and a strong silhouette in branding and poster contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent modular feel, with single-storey lowercase forms and simplified apertures that prioritize impact. Numerals match the same blocky language, producing a cohesive, uniform texture in lines of text. The small interior cut-ins are a defining feature and become more noticeable as size increases.
