This font is a clean, sans-based design with distinctive notches and cut-in shapes that interrupt otherwise solid strokes. Letterforms are predominantly geometric with rounded bowls and fairly uniform stem weight, but the recurring wedge-like incisions and small breaks add a constructed, almost stencil-like flavor. Counters tend to be generous and circular, with crisp terminals that often end in flat cuts rather than soft tapers. The rhythm is compact and sturdy, and the overall texture reads dark and graphic even at text sizes due to the frequent internal cutouts.
Best suited to display settings where the internal cutouts can be appreciated: headlines, posters, event graphics, branding, and packaging. It can work for short blocks of text in larger sizes, but its strong motif and dark color make it most effective when used for emphasis rather than long-form reading.
The repeated carved details give the type a mischievous, engineered personality—part retro display, part playful industrial. It feels energetic and slightly eccentric, turning familiar sans forms into something more characterful and logo-ready without becoming decorative script-like.
The design appears intended to refresh a straightforward sans skeleton with a repeatable graphic intervention—using notches and interior cuts to create instant recognition and a distinctive texture. It aims for high impact and memorability while staying within a broadly sans, upright construction.
Distinctive features include the recurring inner “bite” shapes in rounded letters (notably O/C/G/e/6/8/9), occasional wedge breaks on diagonals, and a strong, simplified numeral set with eye-catching interior cuts. The overall impression is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with the cut-ins functioning as a unifying motif.
