A heavy, compact sans with squarish proportions, softened corners, and prominent cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap notches. Counters are relatively small and often asymmetrical, with distinctive interior slits and wedges that carve into bowls and joints. Strokes alternate between broad verticals and more tapered joins, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm while keeping an overall geometric, block-built silhouette. Uppercase forms are sturdy and billboard-like; lowercase retains a large x-height and simple construction, with single-storey shapes and minimal curvature beyond the rounded terminals.
Best suited to display applications where the chunky silhouettes and interior cut-ins can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and punchy signage. It will perform especially well at medium-to-large sizes, where the notches and tight counters remain clear and add character without clogging.
The overall tone is bold and exuberant, mixing industrial signage energy with a slightly cartoonish softness. The cut-ins give it a crafted, utilitarian flavor—like stamped lettering—while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe. It feels attention-seeking and graphic, suited to loud, confident statements.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a distinctive, engineered texture—using notch-like cutaways to separate dark mass and add recognizability. The intent reads as a contemporary display sans that nods to vintage sign lettering and stencil constructions while maintaining a clean, geometric framework.
Spacing appears generous for such heavy shapes, helping the dense letterforms stay readable at display sizes. The numerals follow the same block-and-notch logic, with strong silhouettes and simplified interior spaces that prioritize impact over delicate detail.
