A compact, condensed sans with heavy, squared forms and pronounced internal cut-outs that carve the counters into geometric wedges and slots. Strokes read as solid blocks, but the letter interiors are aggressively notched, producing a hollowed, inverted look where negative space becomes a key design feature. Terminals are blunt and mostly orthogonal, with occasional diagonals used as sharp incisions in bowls and joins. Spacing feels tight and rhythmic, with sturdy verticals and simplified curves that maintain a consistent, modular silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and bold signage where the carved counters can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a strong, industrial voice is desired, especially in high-contrast color treatments.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, equipment markings, and high-impact signage. The cut-out interiors add a tactical, engineered flavor that feels modern, rugged, and slightly rebellious, while remaining legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint while staying visually distinctive through systematic interior cut-outs. By turning counters into sharp, engineered shapes, it creates a recognizable ‘marked’ aesthetic that suggests fabrication, labeling, and industrial production.
In text settings, the repeated rectangular cut-outs create a distinctive texture—letters feel like they’ve been routed or punched from solid material. The design reads best when there’s enough size for the internal notches to stay open; at smaller sizes, those details may visually fill in and increase overall darkness.
