A heavy, block-built sans with compact counters and broad, squared forms softened by rounded corners. Many joins and terminals include small rectangular notches and cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap style reliefs, creating a distinctive internal rhythm even at large sizes. Proportions are generally sturdy and geometric, with wide vertical stems, flattened curves, and tight apertures that emphasize a dense, punchy silhouette. The lowercase follows the same modular construction, keeping shapes simplified and strongly consistent across the set.
Best suited for display contexts where weight and character are priorities—posters, title cards, branding marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing UI or game graphics. It should work particularly well at medium to large sizes where the cut-in details remain clear and contribute to the font’s signature look.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a playful, game-like edge. Its chunky geometry and deliberate cut-ins evoke retro display lettering and industrial signage, giving headlines a confident, slightly quirky personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a recognizable modular system. The stencil/ink-trap-like cut-ins suggest an effort to add texture and maintain clarity in very heavy strokes while building a distinctive, themed aesthetic for display typography.
Spacing and shapes feel optimized for impact rather than delicacy: counters are small, horizontal bars are thick, and many letters rely on squared bowls and chamfered/rounded transitions. The repeated notch motif adds texture and prevents large black areas from feeling overly static, especially in long lines of all-caps text.
