A heavy, geometric display face built from chunky, mostly rectilinear forms punctuated by sharp diagonals and near-circular bowls. Many letters use deliberate vertical breaks and cut-ins that split stems and counters into bold, solid segments, creating a stencil-like rhythm without fine detailing. Curves are simplified into broad arcs, joins are abrupt, and terminals tend to be flat, giving the alphabet a strongly constructed, modular feel. Spacing reads compact in text, with dense black shapes and distinctive internal notches that keep individual letters identifiable at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, poster titles, logos, and short bursts of copy where its dense silhouettes and internal cuts can read clearly. It can also work well for signage and packaging that benefits from a bold, engineered look, especially when set large with generous tracking.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a retro-mechanical flavor that suggests signage, machinery, and early modernist display typography. The repeated internal cuts add a covert, utilitarian edge, while the geometric bowls keep it clean and stylized rather than rough or distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through mass and geometry, while using consistent internal breaks to create a signature motif and maintain differentiation between similarly shaped glyphs. It prioritizes graphic presence and a constructed, display-forward texture over conventional readability at small sizes.
Lowercase follows the same segmented construction as the capitals, producing a unified voice that reads more like a display set than a text companion. Numerals are similarly blocky and cut, designed to match the letterforms in weight and graphic texture.
