A heavy, block-built sans with broad proportions and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes terminate in crisp, squared edges, while many joins and inner corners show subtle angled notches that read like ink-trap-inspired cuts. Curves are simplified and sturdy (notably in C, G, O, S), with rounded outer forms contrasted by flat, straight-sided verticals. The lowercase is robust and compact, with single-storey forms and minimal modulation, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in words and numbers.
This design performs best in display settings where impact and personality matter—headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and short signage. It is especially effective when set with generous spacing and ample size, where its notched joins and compact counters remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a slightly quirky, engineered personality. Its chunky geometry and small angular cut-ins add a playful, retro-industrial flavor that feels suited to bold statements and attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to maximize punch and presence while adding a distinctive constructed detail through repeated angular cut-ins. The goal seems to be a bold, modern display sans that nods to vintage poster lettering and industrial graphics without resorting to ornament or serif forms.
Counters tend to be small and squarish, which increases visual weight and creates a strong, dark texture in paragraphs. The distinctive corner cut-ins appear consistently across multiple glyphs, giving the design a recognizable signature and helping prevent tight areas from clogging at large display sizes.
