A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions and rounded outer corners. The letterforms are built from broad rectangular strokes punctuated by tight interior notches and small cut-ins that read like stencil bridges or ink-trap voids, creating a distinctive broken rhythm through counters and joins. Stroke contrast is expressed as thick vertical masses against thin horizontal slices, producing a strongly segmented texture in text. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, with occasional sharp diagonals in letters like A, V, W, X, and Z; counters tend toward squarish, narrow openings that emphasize solidity.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality matter: headlines, posters, title cards, esports and gaming graphics, product marks, and bold packaging. It can also work for short labels or UI-style callouts when set large enough for the interior cut-ins to remain legible.
The overall tone feels mechanical and assertive, with a utilitarian, engineered character. The repeated cut-ins add a gritty, technical edge that can evoke industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, or retro arcade hardware. Its dense black footprint and angular rhythm project strength and urgency rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a powerful, compressed-to-solid visual mass while adding recognizability through deliberate internal cutouts. By combining block geometry with stencil-like interruptions and sharp diagonals, it targets high-impact display use with a technical, industrial flavor.
The distinctive internal breaks and shallow counters create strong identity at headline sizes, while the same features can reduce clarity in longer paragraphs or at small sizes. Figures follow the same segmented logic, giving numerals a compact, equipment-like presence.
