A condensed, heavy display sans built from tall vertical stems and compact counters, with rounded outer curves contrasted by sharp, squared terminals. Many letters are constructed as split or segmented forms, with intentional vertical slits and interior cut-ins that create a stencil-like rhythm and strong black/white patterning. Curves tend to be simplified into near-semicircular sides, while horizontals are short and firm, producing a rigid, architectural texture. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s narrow proportions and uses similarly reduced bowls and apertures, keeping a consistent, tightly packed silhouette across text.
Best suited to display sizes in posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where its cutout construction can be appreciated. It can also work for impactful signage and short editorial callouts, especially in high-contrast black-on-light treatments.
The overall tone is industrial and poster-forward, combining a utilitarian stencil sensibility with hints of Art Deco severity. Its segmented interiors and compressed stance feel mechanical and institutional, lending a confident, slightly clandestine mood.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while adding character through systematic internal segmentation. It prioritizes graphic presence and a consistent architectural motif over conventional text neutrality.
The distinctive internal cutouts become a primary identifying feature at both letter and word level, creating strong striping in dense settings. Because many shapes share similar vertical structure, the design reads best when given room to breathe and when the cutouts can remain clearly visible.
