A heavy, compact display face with incised, notched details that carve into the stems and bowls, creating a stencil-like rhythm without full breaks. Curves are broadly rounded but punctuated by sharp, angular cut-ins; many letters show vertical ‘pinch’ notches at the mid-stem or near joins. Stroke endings are generally blunt and squared, with a mostly even weight distribution and small counters that stay open but tight at text sizes. The overall construction feels deliberate and geometric, with slightly condensed proportions and assertive, high-impact silhouettes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where the carved-in detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text, but the repeated notches create a strong texture that may feel busy in long-form reading.
The notched cuts and sturdy forms give the font an industrial, poster-ready character with a retro utility vibe. It reads as bold and attention-grabbing, suggesting signage, labels, and stamped or machined aesthetics rather than quiet editorial texture.
Likely designed to deliver a sturdy, modern display voice with a signature incised motif—adding personality and recognizability while keeping the underlying letterforms straightforward and readable.
The internal notches introduce a strong vertical cadence that becomes more prominent in running text, producing a distinctive pattern of ‘bites’ through many strokes. Numerals and round letters maintain consistent weight and presence, reinforcing a uniform, punchy color on the page.
