A heavy, geometric sans with large, rounded counters and strongly simplified construction. Strokes are interrupted by irregular vertical and horizontal knockouts that create a stencil-like, segmented surface while keeping the overall silhouettes blocky and stable. Curves are broadly circular (notably in C, O, Q and numerals), terminals are blunt, and joins favor straight, machined-looking connections. The cutouts vary slightly in placement and width across glyphs, giving the set a deliberately distressed, modular rhythm rather than perfectly uniform striping.
Best suited to display settings where the segmented texture can be appreciated: posters, bold headlines, product packaging, and brand marks that want an industrial or stenciled voice. It can also work for short labels or UI section headers when used large enough to keep the internal knockouts distinct.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, like painted lettering worn by repeated handling or exposure. The broken strokes introduce a gritty, tactical energy while the wide, rounded forms keep it approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as mechanical and urban, with a poster-forward presence.
The design appears intended to blend a geometric grotesque base with deliberate internal cutouts to evoke stencil application, wear, and manufactured surfaces. The goal is high-impact display typography that communicates ruggedness and motion through fragmentation without losing the underlying clarity of the letter silhouettes.
The internal knockouts can visually close up at smaller sizes, so the texture becomes more of a dark, patterned mass as scale decreases. Spacing appears generous and the wide letterforms produce strong horizontal momentum in words, especially in all caps. The texture is a defining feature, so clean backgrounds and ample size help preserve the intended fragmentation.
