A heavy, geometric sans with dramatic internal cut-ins and wedge-shaped apertures that create a stencil-like, notched texture across the alphabet. Strokes are predominantly straight and blocky, with selectively tapered joints and sharp triangular counters that introduce a clear thick–thin rhythm without resorting to traditional serifs. Curves (O, C, S, 8) are built from sturdy, slightly faceted forms, while many terminals end in crisp, angled bites that keep the silhouettes compact and punchy. Spacing reads tight and headline-oriented, and the figures match the uppercase in weight and presence for strong, uniform emphasis.
This font is best suited to display settings where bold silhouette and texture are an advantage—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and branding marks. It can also work for short, high-impact labels or signage, especially where a tough, industrial or retro-graphic tone is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and graphic, with a rugged, industrial edge that feels vintage-adjacent rather than neutral. The repeated notches and wedges give it a machined, stamped character, projecting confidence and urgency suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to merge a strong, modern sans skeleton with a distinctive cut/ink-trap-like motif to add personality and improve visual bite at large sizes. Its emphasis is on memorable shapes and graphic texture rather than quiet readability in extended copy.
The design’s consistent internal cut motif provides strong identity but also creates dense word shapes, especially in longer text. Uppercase letters appear particularly compact and squared-off, while lowercase forms retain the same aggressive terminals, keeping the voice consistent across cases.
