A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared terminals and tight internal counters. Many letters feature deliberate horizontal cut-ins that read like stencil breaks, creating a segmented midline across bowls and rounds while keeping strokes largely monolinear. Curves are broad and geometric, joins are firm, and the overall texture is dense with strong black presence. Numerals and capitals feel especially compact and poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same robust, utilitarian construction.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and bold packaging where the stencil-like breaks can be appreciated. It can work well for sports identity, event graphics, and signage-style applications that benefit from high impact. For longer passages, it’s more effective in short bursts (titles, labels, pull quotes) than in body copy.
The segmented forms lend an industrial, engineered tone that suggests labeling, equipment markings, and bold identity systems. Its solid mass and abrupt cut details also evoke retro athletic graphics and display typography meant to be read quickly. The overall impression is assertive and functional, with a slightly unconventional twist.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact while differentiating itself from standard grotesque styles through systematic midline cut-ins. It emphasizes clarity of silhouette and a strong, engineered rhythm, aiming for a recognizable, rugged display voice.
The consistent mid-stroke interruptions become a defining rhythm across the alphabet, adding visual interest but also introducing potential fill-in at small sizes. Round letters like C, G, O, Q, and S show the effect most strongly, giving the font a distinctive “broken” silhouette even in continuous text.
