A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with tall proportions and a distinctly cut-out construction. Strokes read as heavy vertical slabs with sharp corners, while many joins and terminals show carved notches and wedge-like separations that create an inverted, hollowed impression. Counters and apertures are tight and often formed by negative cutouts rather than smooth inner shapes, producing a hard, segmented rhythm. Spacing appears compact and the overall texture is dense, with numerals and lowercase following the same narrow, engineered silhouette and simplified interior detailing.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging labels, and signage where the narrow footprint and inverted cutout detailing can create strong visual punch. It can also work for logos or branding in industrial, tech, or tactical aesthetics, especially when set at larger sizes where the internal carving reads clearly.
The tone is stark and industrial, with an assertive, warning-sign energy. The high-impact silhouette and carved interiors suggest equipment labeling, security markings, or utilitarian wayfinding, giving the font an intentionally rigid, mechanical personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight width while adding character through inverted, hollow-like cutouts. Its consistent, plate-like construction suggests a goal of evoking stenciling or machined lettering for bold display applications.
The cutout motif is applied consistently across the set, so letters tend to look like solid plates that have been machined or punched out. In running text the dense vertical rhythm can feel busy, making the design more suited to short bursts than long reading.
