A condensed, uppercase-forward display face built from tall rectangular forms with consistent inner cutouts that read as inline counters. Strokes are rendered as negative space inside solid, block-like silhouettes, producing a strong figure/ground effect where counters and joins are sharply carved. Curves are simplified into squared-off bowls and apertures, with minimal stroke modulation beyond the interior voids. Spacing and sidebearings feel tight, and the overall rhythm is vertical and columnar, emphasizing height and compression over roundness.
Best suited to large sizes where the interior cutouts remain clear: posters, bold headlines, packaging labels, venue or wayfinding signage, and compact logo wordmarks. It can also work for short UI badges or category chips when used sparingly and with ample contrast.
The font projects a utilitarian, industrial mood with a punchy, poster-oriented presence. Its inverted cutout construction evokes stenciling, labeling, and urban signage, giving the text a gritty, mechanical energy that feels more architectural than calligraphic.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in narrow horizontal space while maintaining distinctive letter identities through consistent interior cutouts. Its modular, carved construction suggests a deliberate nod to stencil/label aesthetics and high-contrast figure/ground play for attention-demanding display typography.
The inline voids often narrow to small bridges at joins, which increases texture and can create a busy, high-impact pattern in longer words. Numerals follow the same compressed, cutout logic, keeping the color dense and attention-grabbing.
