A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are extremely thick and largely monoline, with tight, vertical counters and short, rectangular apertures that give many letters a stencil-like, cut-out feel. Curves are expressed as superelliptical bowls and terminals, producing a compact, machined silhouette; joins stay crisp and orthogonal, while round letters like O/C/G read as squared ovals. Spacing feels sturdy and even, with broad set widths in the caps and a tall, prominent lowercase that keeps texture dense in running lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and signage where its mass and cutout details can be appreciated. It can also work for sports or event graphics and UI labels when used sparingly and at sizes that preserve the counters and internal openings.
The overall tone is assertive and industrial, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of stamped signage, arcade-era graphics, and utilitarian labeling. Its rounded corners keep the heaviness friendly rather than brutal, while the narrow counters and notched details add a mechanical, engineered character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean sans framework, using rounded-rectangle geometry and repeated cutout details to create a distinctive, industrial display voice without introducing serifs or ornamental flourishes.
Distinctive internal cutouts and notches appear across multiple glyphs (notably in E/F/G, several lowercase forms, and some numerals), creating a consistent ‘punched’ motif that becomes more visible at larger sizes. The numerals match the letterforms’ squared-round geometry, maintaining a cohesive, poster-ready rhythm.
