A heavy, geometric sans with pronounced contrast created by thick vertical masses and sharply reduced, slit-like counters. Many rounds (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) are built as near-circular bowls with a distinctive vertical cut or internal stripe, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, N) read as solid rectangular blocks. Curves are broad and smooth, joins are crisp, and terminals are squared, producing a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Proportions are generous horizontally, with bold caps and a lowercase that keeps clear, chunky forms and tight apertures.
Best suited to large-scale display use such as headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging fronts, and brand marks where its bold silhouettes and striped counters can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when generous spacing is available.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a retro, graphic punch that feels reminiscent of stencil signage and classic poster lettering. The striped counters add a playful, slightly industrial twist that makes words feel energetic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact through simplified, blocky construction and a recurring cutout motif that creates instant recognizability. It prioritizes graphic presence and stylistic cohesion over neutral body-text readability.
The distinctive internal cuts reduce counterspace and increase patterning, which boosts impact at large sizes but can make dense text feel darker and more textured. The numerals and round letters particularly emphasize the vertical-slit motif, giving headlines a consistent, branded look.
