A heavy slab-serif design with broad, blocky proportions and softly rounded outer corners. The strokes are thick and fairly even, with compact counters and sturdy, rectangular terminals that keep the silhouette dense. Throughout the letterforms, irregular internal knockouts create a speckled, hollowed texture that reads like pitting or erosion rather than clean stencil bridges, giving each glyph a porous, distressed surface while retaining strong overall shapes.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, signage, and packaging where the textured cutouts can be appreciated. It can work well for logo wordmarks and short emphatic phrases, especially in contexts aiming for a rugged, vintage, or industrial feel.
The cutout texture lends a weathered, workmanlike character that feels industrial and tactile, with a retro poster sensibility. Its bold presence and playful speckling can also read as novelty-friendly, adding attitude and energy without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to combine the dependable readability of a bold slab-serif with a distinctive perforated texture, creating a strong display face that looks worn-in and material. The goal is likely high impact with added visual interest through irregular hollowed details.
The internal perforations vary in size and placement from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm and a hand-worn impression. In smaller sizes the texture may visually fill in, while at display sizes the speckling becomes a key decorative feature.
