A heavy, geometric sans built from broad strokes and simplified, near-monoline forms. Many letters are constructed with deliberate internal cut-ins and segmented joins, creating a consistent stencil-like rhythm through bowls, counters, and terminals. Curves are largely circular and flattened into bold silhouettes, while diagonals (notably in V, W, X, Y, Z and numerals) are sharply sliced, giving the design a modular, cut-paper feel. The lowercase follows the same chunky logic with compact apertures and distinctive notches, producing a tightly packed texture in text settings.
Best suited for display work such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and bold branding marks where the cut-out details can be appreciated. It can also work for short signage or labels, especially when set large enough to keep the segmented counters clear.
The overall tone feels industrial and graphic, with a strong retro display personality. The repeated cut-outs add a playful, puzzle-like character while still reading as bold and assertive. It suggests signage, labeling, and print ephemera where impact and style matter as much as straightforward readability.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a bold sans through a stencil/cut-out construction, emphasizing graphic impact and a distinctive internal rhythm. Its geometry and repeated breaks point to use in attention-grabbing titles and identity systems rather than extended small-size text.
The stencil breaks are integrated as part of the letter design rather than being purely functional bridges, so the internal negative spaces become a defining motif. In longer lines, the dense weight and frequent cut-ins create a lively, patterned gray that works best with generous tracking or larger sizes.
