A heavy, block-constructed display face with squared proportions and mostly right-angled turns. The letterforms are built from chunky rectangular strokes that are carved with thin internal channels and small, irregular cut-ins, creating a punched/inline effect and a lightly distressed surface. Counters are generally squarish and compact, while terminals stay blunt and flat, giving the design a sturdy, modular rhythm. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure, with simplified, geometric shapes and a consistent, poster-forward color on the page.
Best used for headlines, posters, event graphics, and branding where strong impact and a textured inline detail are desirable. It can work well on packaging and signage, especially in larger sizes where the carved interior channels remain clear and contribute to the industrial character.
The overall tone feels industrial and rugged, like painted signage or cut-metal lettering, with a playful edge from the scattered internal cutouts. It reads as bold and assertive, suited to attention-grabbing messages that benefit from a tough, mechanical flavor.
The design appears intended as a bold display face that combines a solid, modular build with carved interior detailing to create depth and a fabricated, stencil-adjacent feel. Its consistent geometric construction suggests an emphasis on punchy readability and a distinctive, textured silhouette in short text settings.
The inline carving and micro-notches add visual noise that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes, while large settings emphasize the graphic texture and squared counters. Numerals appear similarly blocky and display-oriented, reinforcing the font’s strong, constructed personality.
