A compact, geometric sans built from heavy, rounded rectangles and circular segments, with frequent vertical and diagonal cut-ins that create a stencil-like, segmented silhouette. Curves are broadly radiused and terminals are generally blunt, giving the letters a carved, modular feel. Counters tend to be small and simplified, and many glyphs show a distinctive split or notch that interrupts strokes to form interior highlights and separation lines. Overall spacing reads generous for such dense shapes, keeping the texture bold but not overly clogged at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the internal cut details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logotypes, event graphics, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short, punchy statements in editorial or digital hero areas, while longer passages are better kept to larger sizes with comfortable leading.
The segmented construction and chunky geometry project an industrial, poster-ready attitude with a retro-futurist edge. It feels playful and graphic rather than neutral, evoking signage, cut metal, or screen-printed lettering. The repeated internal slits add energy and a sense of motion, giving headlines a distinctive, attention-grabbing rhythm.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, distinctive sans voice by combining simple geometric foundations with a consistent stencil-like segmentation. The goal seems to be high visual impact and memorability, turning each letter into a compact graphic object while maintaining an overall sans structure.
The design relies on consistent internal breaks across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive “cut” motif that becomes part of the font’s identity. Several characters lean toward stylized, almost emblematic forms, which can trade off some conventional readability in exchange for strong personality—especially in smaller text or tightly set lines.
