A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and deliberate internal cut-ins that create a stencil-like, segmented look. The letterforms use broad verticals and simplified curves, with noticeable weight shifts created by flat notches and wedge-shaped joints rather than smooth modulation. Counters are compact and often interrupted by vertical or horizontal slots (especially in rounded letters), producing a strong, poster-like texture. Terminals are predominantly blunt, with occasional angled cuts that add sharpness and help differentiate similar shapes at large sizes.
This font is well suited to display applications where strong silhouette and graphic texture are assets: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging fronts, and attention-grabbing signage. It performs best at medium to large sizes where the internal cut-ins remain clear and contribute to the intended industrial/stencil character. For longer passages, it will benefit from increased tracking and careful line spacing to avoid heavy color build-up.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, with a utilitarian, industrial feel that reads as retro-display rather than neutral text. Its cut-out details and chunky geometry give it a sporty, headline-forward energy, evoking signage, stenciling, and mid-century display lettering. The rhythm is punchy and rhythmic, prioritizing impact and character over quiet legibility.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that injects personality through systematic cut-outs and angular joins. Rather than aiming for neutrality, it uses consistent internal segmentation to create a recognizable, stamped/stenciled voice that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The distinctive internal breaks become a defining motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a consistent "carved" aesthetic. In paragraph settings the dark color and tight apertures can visually merge, so the design is best when given generous size and spacing or used in short bursts. Numerals follow the same blocky, slotted construction, keeping a cohesive texture across alphanumerics.
