A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and crisp, squared terminals. Many strokes feature consistent diagonal notches and small internal cut-ins that create a stencil/inline effect without fully breaking the forms. Counters are generally compact and circular-to-oval, with simplified, sturdy construction and minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is punchy and graphic, with distinctive interrupted curves in letters like C, G, O, Q, and S, and strong, block-like lowercase that maintains a steady, utilitarian texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where the notched construction can read clearly and add personality. It also fits packaging, event graphics, and sports/tech-themed identities that benefit from a tough, engineered feel. For smaller settings or dense copy, the strong weight and internal cut-ins may become visually busy, so larger sizes and generous spacing will showcase it most effectively.
The repeated notches give the face a constructed, engineered character—part industrial signage, part futuristic display. It reads energetic and slightly mischievous, with a sporty, attention-grabbing tone that feels more expressive than neutral. The look suggests motion and cut metal or vinyl, adding a playful edge to an otherwise robust sans skeleton.
Likely designed to take a familiar geometric sans foundation and inject a recognizable, repeatable motif through strategic cut-ins, creating a distinctive display voice. The goal appears to be bold impact and instant identity—maintaining legible, sturdy shapes while adding a crafted, industrial-tech signature.
The notch motif is applied very consistently across rounds and diagonals, functioning as a signature detail that becomes more apparent at display sizes. In longer text, the cut-ins introduce a lively pattern and a slightly busier color than a plain geometric sans, especially around round letters and numerals.
