A heavy, blocky sans with rounded corners and consistent stroke weight. Many glyphs feature deliberate cut-ins and notches—often as horizontal “bites” through bowls and counters—creating a stencil-like, segmented construction without fully breaking forms apart. Curves are broad and geometric (notably in O/C/G/S), while verticals stay straight and sturdy; joins and terminals are generally squared off, with select angled cuts on letters like A, K, V, W, and Y. Numerals match the same chunky, simplified geometry and carry the same occasional internal cut details, maintaining a uniform, poster-forward texture across the set.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and display signage where its carved, stencil-like details can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve the interior cuts and counters.
The notched construction and dense silhouettes give the font a tough, industrial flavor with a retro sign-painting and labeling energy. It reads confident and attention-seeking, with a slightly playful edge from the repeated “carved” motifs that add personality and rhythm.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, notched construction that evokes stenciling and cut-letter signage. It aims to balance geometric sans simplicity with an immediately recognizable display voice for branding and attention-grabbing typography.
The repeated internal cut motif becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where it functions as a strong signature detail. In tighter text settings, the dense shapes and interior notches can visually merge, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect clarity.
