A dense, block-built sans with squared bowls, angular joins, and a consistently heavy stroke that creates a solid, poster-like silhouette. Corners are mostly hard with occasional small notches and cut-ins that give many letters a chiseled, modular feel. Curves are minimized into rounded-rectangle forms, counters are tight, and spacing reads compact, producing a rhythmic, stacked texture in text. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic with simplified shapes and a sturdy, mechanical stance.
Best suited to display typography where its chunky, geometric construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, short slogans, event graphics, and bold branding moments. It can also work for game/arcade interfaces or themed packaging where a stylized, constructed look is desirable, but it may feel heavy for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and game-like, with a slightly industrial edge from its rigid geometry and cut-out details. It reads as intentionally unconventional rather than neutral, bringing a quirky, energetic character that feels at home in stylized, attention-grabbing settings.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact through compact proportions and a modular, cut-out aesthetic. Its distinctive notches and squared shapes suggest an intention to feel custom, playful, and slightly mechanical, prioritizing personality and presence over typographic neutrality.
The design favors large, simplified interior spaces and strong vertical emphasis, which helps it stay legible at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, decorative personality. The figure set matches the same squared, heavyweight construction for cohesive headline use.
