A heavy, slab-serif display face with pronounced notch-and-bar cut-ins that create a stencil-like, segmented look across many glyphs. Strokes alternate between very dense verticals and thinner connecting elements, producing a sharp internal rhythm and frequent horizontal interruptions through bowls and counters. The geometry leans rounded in letters like O/C/G and the lowercase a/e, while strong rectangular slabs and flattened terminals keep the overall silhouette sturdy and mechanical. Spacing reads fairly open for the weight, helping the complex interior detailing remain legible at larger sizes.
Best suited for posters, headlines, branding, and packaging where the notched slab details can be appreciated. It can work well for signage and display settings that benefit from a rugged, industrial tone, especially at medium to large sizes where the internal breaks stay clear.
The font conveys a bold, engineered personality with a retro-futurist edge. Its deliberate breaks and banded forms feel energetic and slightly playful, evoking machinery, signage, and graphic poster lettering rather than quiet text typography.
Likely designed to fuse slab-serif sturdiness with a distinctive cutout motif, creating a memorable display voice that stands apart from conventional bold slabs. The intention appears to be high-impact readability with a decorative, engineered texture suitable for branding and attention-grabbing titles.
Several characters show distinctive midline bars or inset gaps that visually tie the set together and create a consistent “cut” motif. The figures are similarly constructed, with banded forms and simplified curves that keep the numerals punchy and emblematic in headlines.
