A heavy, monoline sans with broad proportions and largely geometric construction. A defining feature is the repeated vertical slit/notch motif that cuts through many rounded and bowl-based forms (notably C, G, O, Q and several lowercase/figures), creating a stencil-like break and strong internal rhythm. Strokes end in blunt terminals, curves are tight and compact, and counters are relatively small, emphasizing mass and solidity. The lowercase is built with simple, single-storey forms (a, g) and sturdy stems, keeping the texture dense in text settings.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where a strong silhouette and distinctive stencil-like detailing can do the work. It can also serve as an accent face in editorial layouts, paired with a simpler text sans for contrast.
The overall tone is industrial and engineered, with a no-nonsense, signage-like presence. The recurring cut-through details add a technical, machined feel that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than neutral or bookish.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a recognizable, systematized notch motif that differentiates it from standard grotesks. The goal seems to be a bold display sans that evokes industrial marking and technical labeling while remaining clean and contemporary.
The notch treatment is applied inconsistently across the character set by design—some letters remain solid while others carry the vertical break—producing a distinctive pattern when set in words. The density and tight apertures suggest it performs best at larger sizes where the interior detail stays clear.
