A dense, block-built display face with compact proportions and heavy, monoline strokes. Forms are largely rectilinear with rounded outer corners, while many characters show distinctive bite-like notches and stepped cut-ins at joins and terminals. Counters are minimal and often reduced to slits or near-closed openings, creating strong silhouettes and a deliberately simplified interior structure. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with slightly irregular details that keep the texture lively in headlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging titles, and album/cover art. It holds up well at large sizes where the chunky geometry and notched details can be appreciated; in longer text or small sizes the reduced counters may become visually dense.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian attitude with a playful edge—part industrial signage, part stylized stencil. Its chunky silhouettes and collapsed interiors feel bold and assertive, while the quirky cutouts add a distinctive, offbeat character that reads as retro and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to maximize visual mass and immediacy through simplified, near-solid letterforms, while adding personality via carved notches and rounded block construction. It aims for a distinctive display voice that reads quickly at a glance and feels purpose-built for bold graphic compositions.
Uppercase and lowercase are visually related and similarly weighty, helping the face keep a consistent color in mixed-case settings. Numerals match the same block logic and rounded-rectangle construction, reinforcing a cohesive, sign-like system that prioritizes impact over fine detail.
