A compact, block-built sans with heavy strokes and squarish proportions. Forms are constructed from straight segments with chamfered corners and occasional notches, creating a subtly cut-in, almost stencil-like texture. Counters tend to be small and rectangular, and several letters show intentional asymmetry and uneven terminal cuts that give the face a rough, hand-cut feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, producing a lively, uneven rhythm in words while maintaining a consistent overall mass and strong silhouette.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short display lines where its chunky geometry and jagged cuts can read as a deliberate graphic statement. It can also work for branding marks, packaging titles, and signage-style treatments that benefit from a rugged, hand-cut industrial flavor.
The font projects a bold, utilitarian energy with a distinctly retro poster sensibility. Its chiseled edges and quirky irregularities add a playful toughness—suggesting hand-made signage, industrial labeling, or stylized game/UI lettering rather than neutral text typography.
The design appears intended as a display sans that emphasizes impact and personality through carved, geometric construction and controlled irregularity. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and a gritty, cut-out texture to deliver a strong, stylized voice in branding and titling contexts.
Distinctive details include squared dots on i/j, boxy punctuation, and numerals with the same carved, rectangular counter language. The strong black shapes hold together well at larger sizes, while the tight counters and notched joins can become dense in small settings.
