A compact, geometric sans with squarish proportions and generously rounded corners, rendered as white cut-outs inside solid black letter blocks. Strokes are mostly monoline with clean, squared terminals, and the interior counters are simplified into crisp, rectangular openings that emphasize negative space. The overall rhythm is modular and grid-friendly, with sturdy verticals and controlled curves that keep the texture even across mixed case and numerals. The inverted, hollowed construction makes each glyph read like a punched or routed form rather than a traditional outline.
Best suited for display typography where high contrast and bold presence are desired—posters, headlines, labels, and logotypes. It also fits signage and wayfinding aesthetics, especially in designs that can leverage the blocky, inverted construction on solid backgrounds.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, evoking labeling systems, industrial wayfinding, and hardware or equipment markings. Its stark figure–ground reversal gives it a technical, high-impact feel that reads as modern and functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a consistent block-and-cutout system, prioritizing strong silhouette and fast recognition. Its modular, industrial look suggests an aim toward practical marking, branding, or UI-style titling where a technical tone is beneficial.
Because each character is presented as a filled tile with internal cut-outs, spacing and word-shape appear visually driven by the blocks as much as by the letterforms, producing a strong, poster-like texture. The simplified counters and squared curves favor clarity at display sizes and in high-contrast applications.
