A condensed, blocky sans with tightly controlled proportions and a tall lowercase presence. The letterforms are built from solid rectangular masses with internal counter-shapes carved out, creating a cutout, inverted look where the white interiors do much of the describing. Strokes and terminals are largely straight and squared, with occasional angular joins and simplified curves that read more like notches and apertures than smooth bowls. Spacing is compact and rhythm is uniform, producing a strong vertical pulse and a distinctly modular, sign-like texture in words.
Best suited for headlines and short display lines where its carved-out counters and dense vertical rhythm can read crisply. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from an industrial, high-impact look and compact width.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a graphic, urban edge. Its cutout construction suggests stenciling, labeling, or hard-edged display typography, giving it a direct, no-nonsense presence suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using an inverted cutout strategy to create distinctive silhouettes and a strong, modular word image. The emphasis is on graphic presence and reproducible, stencil-like clarity rather than delicate text reading.
The design’s legibility relies on clearly shaped cut-ins and counters rather than traditional stroke contrast, so it performs best when the negative shapes have room to resolve. The condensed build and tight sidebearings intensify density in longer lines, which can read as a bold, mechanical pattern at larger sizes.
