A compact, heavy, all-caps-forward sans with sharply cut, block-like forms and a distinctly angular construction. Strokes are largely monolinear, but the silhouettes show deliberate irregularities: tapered terminals, notched corners, and occasional inward cuts that create a pseudo-stencil feel without fully breaking the shapes. Counters are tight and often squared, producing a dense texture, while the overall rhythm is slightly uneven from glyph to glyph, lending a handmade, poster-cut character. Numerals and lowercase follow the same rigid geometry, with short ascenders/descenders and strong, squared joints.
Best for display settings such as posters, headlines, logotypes, and bold packaging where a compact, high-impact wordshape is desirable. It can also work for short signage-style messages or labels, especially when set with ample tracking and generous line spacing to offset the dense, dark color.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian attitude—part industrial signage, part underground flyer. Its sharp cuts and compressed stance feel energetic and a bit abrasive, suggesting urgency and impact rather than refinement.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space while adding a distinctive cut-paper/industrial flavor through notched terminals and slightly irregular proportions. The construction prioritizes recognizability and attitude over neutral text performance.
The most distinctive feature is the consistent use of angular wedges and notches at terminals and joins, which introduces motion and personality while keeping a strictly sans, rectilinear framework. In running text the dense blacks and tight counters create a strong graphic band, best suited to larger sizes where the interior shapes can breathe.
