A very heavy, upright sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and tight internal apertures. Strokes are predominantly vertical and monolinear in feel, but repeatedly interrupted by narrow vertical slits and small cut-ins that create a high-contrast, segmented look inside bowls and stems. Corners are broadly softened, curves are squarish and superelliptical, and the overall rhythm is blocky with compact counters and deliberate internal breaks that read like stencil bridges or ink-trap-inspired notches. Numerals and capitals share the same rigid, architectural geometry, producing a uniform, poster-weight texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its heavy weight and segmented details can be appreciated. It can also work for attention-grabbing labels and signage, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The tone is bold and mechanical, with a retro-industrial edge. The internal cuts add tension and motion, giving the face a rugged, engineered character that feels at home in signage, packaging, and high-impact display settings.
The design appears intended to merge superelliptical, rounded geometry with stencil-like internal breaks to create a strong, unmistakable voice. It prioritizes impact and texture over neutrality, offering a bold graphic alternative for branding and editorial display.
In continuous text the narrow internal slits create a distinctive striped texture, especially in rounded letters and in shapes with multiple verticals. The large mass and tight counters favor short headlines and large sizes where the segmented detailing remains clear.
