A heavy, blocky sans with softly rounded corners and a compact, tightly filled-in texture. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with counters kept small and often opened by small rectangular cut-ins that read like pragmatic ink traps or stencil-like notches. The proportions feel slightly condensed in many glyphs, with broad, flat horizontals and sturdy verticals that keep silhouettes simple and highly uniform. Numerals and capitals share the same squat, poster-oriented build, producing a strong, even color in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where its chunky silhouettes and distinctive cut-ins can be read clearly. It works particularly well in short, high-impact messaging and large-scale signage, and is less ideal for long passages where the tight counters may reduce readability.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a throwback, poster-and-signage energy. The rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than aggressive, while the notched details add a quirky, industrial edge that feels playful and distinctive.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes strong silhouettes and a memorable texture. The rounded, compact construction and small notched openings suggest a goal of maintaining clarity and character in heavy weights, evoking retro print and utilitarian signage influences.
At text sizes the compact counters and dense stroke mass push it toward display use, where the cut-in notches become a recognizable signature. The rhythm is steady and emphatic, making headlines feel solid and attention-grabbing, especially in short phrases and stacked lines.
