A heavy, geometric sans with a modular construction and frequent stencil-like breaks and notches that interrupt strokes at joins and terminals. Forms are mostly monoline and built from straight segments and broad curves, producing compact counters and often closed or near-closed apertures. Corners are generally crisp, with some diagonals and angled terminals adding snap to the silhouettes. The overall rhythm is dense and graphic, with distinctive cut-ins that read like ink-trap or mechanical detailing across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to large-size applications where the notched details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, title treatments, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for labels, wayfinding, and short UI or product naming elements where a strong, technical personality is desired.
The cut-and-notched shapes give a technical, engineered feel—confident, assertive, and slightly futuristic. Its strong black presence and compact counters create a punchy, industrial tone that suggests machinery, signage, and digital-era branding rather than neutral text setting.
The font appears designed to be a bold, distinctive sans that stands apart from neutral grotesks by using systematic cuts and modular geometry. The goal seems to be high impact and recognizability—creating a mechanical, contemporary texture that remains consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
The design’s intentional interruptions are a defining feature and can reduce legibility at smaller sizes, especially in letters with tight bowls and narrow openings. In display sizes, the repeated notches create a cohesive texture and a recognizable voice across words and headlines.
