A dense, heavy sans with compact proportions, rounded outer contours, and squared-off interior joins. Strokes stay broadly uniform, but many glyphs show distinctive cut-ins and notch-like shaping at corners and junctions, giving an ink-trap or stencil-adjacent impression without breaking the forms apart. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, counters are generous and rounded, and curves are built from broad arcs that read sturdy rather than delicate. The overall rhythm is chunky and modular, with simplified geometry and occasional angular touches in diagonals and pointed joins.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the chunky shapes and notched details can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that need a bold, characterful sans with a slightly industrial edge.
The font projects a retro, poster-forward attitude with a friendly heft. Its notched detailing adds an engineered, manufactured feel—suggesting signage, print ephemera, or bold branding—while the rounded shapes keep it approachable and slightly playful.
The design appears intended as a distinctive display sans that balances softness and strength: rounded, high-impact silhouettes paired with functional corner cut-ins to keep forms crisp and recognizable. The goal seems to be immediate readability with a memorable, constructed texture for branding and editorial titling.
Distinctive corner notches appear across both uppercase and lowercase, especially at joins and inner corners, creating a consistent visual signature at display sizes. The numeral set matches the same heavy, rounded construction and maintains clear silhouettes, with forms designed to stay legible under tight spacing and high ink coverage.
