A condensed, block-built display face with heavy rectangular strokes, rounded outer corners, and frequent vertical counter slits that create a stencil-like rhythm. Terminals are largely flat and squared, with occasional stepped or notched cut-ins (notably in bowls and joints) that add irregular texture. Curves are minimized and treated as softened rectangles, giving letters a tall, compact footprint and a tightly packed, poster-ready silhouette. Numerals and capitals follow the same modular logic, with simplified forms and narrow internal openings for a dense, high-impact color on the page.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, title cards, album or event graphics, and branding marks that benefit from a compressed, high-contrast silhouette. It can also work for packaging and labels where a bold, retro-industrial voice is desired, especially in short bursts rather than long text.
The overall tone is punchy and unconventional, mixing industrial signage energy with a retro arcade/poster sensibility. Its quirky interior cuts and compressed proportions lend a slightly mischievous, offbeat character that feels more performative than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using notched interior cuts and rounded-rectangle construction to create a distinctive, novelty display voice. It prioritizes graphic presence and stylistic personality over conventional text readability.
Legibility is strongest at headline sizes where the narrow counters and interior slits read as intentional detailing; in smaller settings the dense apertures may visually fill in. The design maintains a consistent vertical rhythm, while letting certain glyphs (like M/W and some numerals) introduce distinctive, attention-grabbing quirks.
