A very heavy, display-oriented slab serif with compact proportions and rounded outer contours. Letterforms are built from thick, blocky stems and broad slabs, then cut through with consistent internal notches and horizontal “slots” that create a stencil-like, ink-trap rhythm across the set. Counters tend to be small and often simplified, with smooth curves on bowls and a strong, geometric feel in straighter letters. The overall texture is dense and graphic, with distinctive mid-stroke cut-ins that unify capitals, lowercase, and numerals into a cohesive pattern.
Best suited to large sizes where its cut-out details and slab structure stay clear—such as headlines, poster typography, event graphics, logos, and packaging. It can work for short bursts of copy or punchy subheads, but its strong internal detailing makes it less ideal for long-form reading.
The repeated cut-outs and chunky slabs give the font a bold, playful attitude with a retro display flavor. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward novelty signage and stylized branding rather than neutral text work.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through heavy slabs and a signature system of internal cut-outs, combining a sturdy slab-serif foundation with a decorative, almost stencil-like voice. The intent appears to be creating a highly recognizable display face that maintains consistency across the full alphanumeric set.
The internal cut-ins are a defining motif and remain noticeable even in shorter words, creating a strong stripe-and-notch pattern across lines. In the sample text, this produces an energetic, decorative texture that can dominate a layout, especially at smaller sizes or in tightly set paragraphs.
