A heavy, block-built sans with squared silhouettes and rounded corners, set on a tall lowercase that keeps counters large and open. The defining feature is a consistent vertical split or notch running through many stems and bowls, creating a stencil-like interruption that reads clearly at display sizes. Shapes lean geometric with simplified terminals, minimal modulation, and a compact inner spacing that produces dense, punchy words. Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy; lowercase retains strong structure with single-storey a and g and a prominent, high-contrast dot treatment on i and j.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, branding marks, packaging panels, and wayfinding or label-style graphics where the stencil split becomes part of the identity. It can work for subheads or callouts in editorial or digital layouts when paired with a simpler text face.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a mechanical, stamped quality that suggests signage, labeling, and bold headlines. The cut-through details add grit and character, giving it a retro-industrial feel that can also read sporty or tactical depending on color and layout.
The font appears designed to combine the clarity of a geometric, heavy sans with the personality of a stencil/slot-cut motif, creating an instantly recognizable texture while staying legible and structurally simple. The tall lowercase and open counters support strong readability for a display face, while the repeated vertical breaks provide a consistent, branded signature.
The mid-stem breaks introduce distinctive texture and rhythm across lines of text, especially in rounded letters and numerals. Because the interruptions are a key identifier, the design is most effective when there is enough size and contrast for the split details to remain visible and not fill in.
