A heavy, compressed slab-serif design with squared proportions and prominent bracketless serifs. Each glyph is defined by strong outer contours and distinctive internal cutouts that carve away parts of stems, bowls, and crossbars, creating an inverted, punched-out look. The edges feel mechanical and slightly irregular due to the consistent notches and gaps, which introduce a rugged rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are simplified and often partially interrupted, producing compact, high-impact letterforms that read best at display sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, logos, and bold branding where the carved interior shapes can be appreciated. It also fits product packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from an industrial or stenciled flavor. For longer text, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity as the internal cutouts become a key part of recognition.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking stenciled signage, stamped labels, and rugged packaging. Its cutout details add a rebellious, DIY edge that can feel both vintage and industrial, with a hint of playful disruption in the way forms are broken up.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, slab-serif structures while adding character via systematic interior cutouts. The inverted, hollowed detailing suggests a deliberate reference to stencil or die-cut processes, aiming for a rugged, print-inspired texture with strong shelf and poster presence.
The cutout system is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the font a cohesive "punched" texture in running text. The lowercase retains a sturdy, slab-like construction, and the numerals share the same blocky geometry and internal interruptions, maintaining uniform color and presence.
