A heavy, block-oriented sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broadly squared counters. Curves are simplified into large radii and flat terminals, creating a compact, poster-like texture. Several glyphs feature narrow, inline-looking cut notches and slits that read like stencil breaks or ink traps, adding sharp highlights inside otherwise solid forms. Rhythm is bold and steady, with short apertures and tight internal space that keeps the silhouette dominant at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text: headlines, posters, logotypes, product packaging, and bold promotional graphics. The distinctive internal cuts help add character in large sizes and can create a rugged, stamped feel for titles and branding systems.
The overall tone is loud and confident, balancing softened corners with rugged cut-ins that feel industrial and slightly vintage. It projects a no-nonsense, energetic attitude suited to attention-grabbing headlines and branding that wants to feel tough but approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified superelliptical geometry, then differentiate itself with deliberate internal cut details that evoke stencil work and industrial marking. It aims for immediate legibility and a strong silhouette in display contexts while maintaining a friendly rounded foundation.
Round letters like O/C/G lean toward squarish bowls with generous corner rounding, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay chunky and stable. The numerals match the same blocky logic, with the internal cuts adding texture and preventing large shapes from turning into featureless blobs in dense settings.
