A heavy, blocky sans with squared proportions, softened corners, and frequent wedge-like cut-ins that create a chiseled, notched silhouette. Strokes are thick and consistent, with medium contrast introduced mainly through internal carving rather than tapering. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and many joins show small triangular intrusions that read like built-in ink traps or stencil-like relief. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with simplified curves on rounds (O, C, G) and assertive terminals that keep letterforms crisp at display sizes.
Best suited for display work where impact and personality matter: headlines, posters, brand marks, merchandise, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large, but the carved interior details suggest avoiding small text sizes where the notches may visually fill in.
The tone is bold and assertive with a playful, throwback edge—evoking athletic lettering, arcade-era graphics, and industrial signage. Its cut-in details add energy and a slightly mischievous character, balancing toughness with a stylized, decorative feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal space, using carved cut-ins to add distinctive texture and separation in dense black shapes. It aims for a graphic, emblematic voice that stays legible while reading as intentionally stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
Lowercase forms keep the same carved construction as the capitals, giving text a consistent, logo-like texture. Numerals are similarly chunky and graphic, matching the squared counters and notched detailing for a cohesive set.
