A very heavy, geometric sans with a distinctive segmented construction: many strokes are interrupted by vertical slits and small circular notches, producing a cutout/stencil effect. Bowls are built from near-perfect circles and straight-sided blocks, with crisp, flat terminals and a generally monolinear feel despite the internal breaks. The overall rhythm is compact and modular, with strong black mass and sharply defined counters; diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y, Z) appear as bold wedges that keep the design consistent with the squared, engineered geometry.
Best suited for large-size display settings such as posters, editorial headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, and bold signage where its segmented geometry can be appreciated. It works especially well for short phrases and impactful typographic statements where the decorative cutouts add character without relying on ornament.
The font conveys a bold, stylized modernism with a retro, Art Deco-leaning tone. Its cutout details add a sense of machinery, signage, and theatrical display, giving text a dramatic, graphic presence rather than a neutral reading voice.
The design appears intended to merge a geometric sans foundation with a decorative stencil/cutout system, creating a high-impact display face that feels engineered and era-referential. Its consistent modular breaks and simplified forms suggest an emphasis on strong silhouette, reproducible shapes, and distinctive texture in headline typography.
The internal separations are a core identity feature and remain consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive “constructed” texture in lines of text. Because the breaks are relatively fine compared to the heavy stems, the design reads as solid from a distance while revealing its stencil character up close.
