A heavy, geometric sans built from large blocky forms with rounded bowls and sharply cut internal apertures. Many letters feature consistent slit-like breaks and cutouts that read as a stencil or segmented construction, producing a strong vertical rhythm and distinctive negative-space patterning. Curves are simplified into near-circular counters while straights stay rigid and monoline in feel, with compact joins and minimal detailing. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with tight interior spaces that become especially prominent in smaller openings and terminals.
Best suited for large-scale display typography such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its cutout construction can be clearly seen. It also works well for signage and short emphatic phrases, adding a distinctive decorative texture to all-caps settings and bold mixed-case titles.
The font conveys a bold, industrial Art Deco tone with a playful, poster-like confidence. Its segmented cutlines evoke signage, packaging, and engineered surfaces, giving it a crafted, mechanical character rather than a neutral utilitarian one. The result feels vintage-modern: assertive and decorative, but still grounded in clean geometric construction.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a stencil-like, segmented system that adds visual identity and pattern. It prioritizes impact, recognizability, and a cohesive cutout motif over neutral readability, aiming for strong brand and editorial presence.
The stencil breaks are integrated as a repeating motif across many glyphs, creating a cohesive pattern when set in words and lines. The shapes favor strong silhouettes over fine detail, and the counters can visually merge at small sizes, emphasizing its role as a display face.
