A condensed, all-caps-forward display sans with chunky, rectangular construction and sharply carved interior cutouts. The letterforms feel built from solid slabs with strategic notches and counters that read as hollowed areas, creating crisp, high-contrast figure/ground silhouettes. Curves (C, G, O) are tightly rounded and compact, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are steep and angular, reinforcing a tall, compressed rhythm. Lowercase matches the same condensed skeleton with a large x-height and minimal extenders, keeping lines dense and visually uniform. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with simplified bowls and squared terminals that stay consistent with the caps.
Best suited to posters, headlines, packaging callouts, logos, and short branding statements where its carved negative spaces can be appreciated. It can also work for signage-style applications and bold label systems, particularly when set with generous tracking or ample size to preserve the interior cutout clarity.
The font conveys a loud, utilitarian energy—part industrial signage, part retro display. Its inverted fill/cutout look produces a bold, stamped or masked impression that feels attention-grabbing and slightly mechanical. The overall tone is assertive and graphic, suited to high-impact messages rather than subtle reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tightly packed width while using interior cutouts to create an inverted, masked display effect. Its consistent block geometry and notched counters suggest a focus on graphic presence and strong figure/ground play for attention-first typography.
In text samples, word shapes remain compact and forceful, with the internal cutouts providing the main differentiation between similar forms at smaller sizes. The design reads best when given enough size and contrast for the hollow details to stay open and distinct, especially in dense strings and punctuation.
