A chunky geometric sans built from heavy block forms with pronounced interior cut-outs that read like reversed counters. Strokes are squared and modular, with frequent right-angle corners and occasional chamfered or notched joins that create a punchy, high-impact rhythm. Many glyphs show deliberate gaps, inset shapes, and stepped terminals, giving the alphabet a tiled, sign-like construction and a slightly mechanical, stencil-adjacent feel. Proportions lean compact in the caps while the lowercase keeps a large, sturdy x-height, maintaining bold presence and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to display work where strong contrast and the cut-out interior shapes can read at a glance—posters, bold headlines, branding marks, packaging, and sticker or label designs. It will also work well for short UI labels or badges when used large enough for the interior detailing to remain legible.
The overall tone feels industrial and tech-forward, like lettering made for labels, equipment, or arcade-era graphics. The inverted cut-out treatment adds a playful edge and a slightly mischievous, poster-ready attitude while staying firmly structured and geometric.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy geometric forms while using inverted counter carving to create character and differentiation. The modular construction suggests an aim toward signage and graphic applications where a rugged, stamped or cut-out aesthetic helps text feel engineered and attention-grabbing.
Counters tend to be simplified into rectangular and rounded-rect forms, and several letters incorporate small notches and angular bites that act like built-in detailing. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with strong, simplified shapes and consistent interior carving for continuity across the set.
