A heavy, block-built display sans with squared proportions and frequent chamfered and notched corners that create a cut, punchy silhouette. Stroke endings tend to be flattened with small internal bites, giving counters a carved feel (notably in rounded forms like O, Q, and numerals). Curves are minimized in favor of faceted arcs, producing octagonal rounds and a slightly mechanical rhythm. Spacing reads tight and assertive, with strong vertical stems and simplified joins that keep forms sturdy at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where strong shapes and impact matter most—posters, branding marks, packaging titles, and sports or event graphics. It can also work for labels and signage-style compositions where a rugged, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a faint vintage sign-paint and stamped-letter energy. The faceted cuts add a gritty, workshop character that feels bold, practical, and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, carved letterforms that read like cut metal or stamped signage. The consistent chamfers and notches suggest an aim for a distinctive, durable texture that remains legible in bold display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent blocky construction, and the lowercase maintains a robust, headline-oriented presence. Numerals follow the same chiseled geometry, with prominent internal cut-ins that help distinguish shapes while preserving the font’s solid mass.
