A heavy, blocky sans with compact bowls and sturdy verticals, built from simple geometric strokes and softened corners. Many glyphs include deliberate cuts and notches—often as vertical breaks through counters or small bite-like interruptions at joins—creating a stencil/ink-trap effect that opens tight spaces in letters like O, Q, e, and g. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, with occasional angled cuts, giving the design a manufactured, tool-cut feel. Spacing reads moderately tight in text, and the overall rhythm is punchy and compact, optimized for strong silhouette rather than delicate detail.
Best suited to display settings where its rugged stencil-like details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short branding statements or logotypes that benefit from an industrial, stamped character, while extended body text may feel visually dense due to the internal cuts.
The cut-in shapes and dense construction convey an industrial, workmanlike tone—tough, practical, and slightly gritty. It feels at home in contexts that reference machinery, shipping marks, or utilitarian signage, with a confident, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to blend a straightforward sans foundation with distinctive stencil/ink-trap interruptions to improve counter openness and add a recognizable industrial texture. Its forms prioritize impact, quick recognition, and a crafted, manufactured aesthetic over neutrality.
The repeated internal breaks act as strong identifying features and create distinctive word shapes, but they also introduce texture that can become busy at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same motif, with several figures featuring split interiors and angular cuts that keep counters open and visually consistent with the letters.
