A heavy, geometric sans with squarish proportions and pronounced cut-outs that carve the strokes into segmented, hollowed shapes. Curves are largely squared-off into rounded-rectangle counters (notably in O, D, P, and 0), while many joins and terminals end in crisp right angles. Several glyphs use deliberate notches, gaps, and inset “windows” that create an inverted, punch-through effect and a distinctly constructed rhythm, with occasional wedge-like diagonals on letters such as A, K, X, and Z. Lowercase forms are compact with a tall x-height and simplified bowls, keeping the texture dense and highly graphic across mixed-case text and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short text where the cut-out detailing can be appreciated, such as posters, packaging, labels, and tech/industrial themed signage. It can also work for UI titles or game/arcade graphics when used at sizes that preserve the internal windows and notches.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era UI, and utilitarian signage. The cut-out construction adds a schematic, engineered feel—more display-driven than neutral—while still reading clearly at headline sizes.
Likely intended as a high-impact display face that combines a blocky, engineered skeleton with hollowed interiors to produce a strong, instantly recognizable texture. The systematic cut-outs suggest an aim for a stencil-like, fabricated aesthetic that remains legible while feeling deliberately constructed.
The design leans on modular geometry: rectangular counters, squared curves, and repeated notch motifs that unify uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The enclosed shapes (e.g., 8, B, 0) emphasize the hollow/inverted logic particularly strongly, creating a bold, poster-like silhouette with distinctive interior negative space.
