A condensed, geometric sans with monoline strokes and prominent internal cut-outs that read as counters carved from solid shapes. Terminals are crisp and squared, with occasional angled joins (notably in diagonals) that reinforce a modular, constructed feel. The uppercase set is tight and compact with simplified bowls and counters, while the lowercase maintains a tall, upright presence and keeps apertures narrow. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, using clean, simplified forms and consistent stroke weight, yielding a highly graphic, poster-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, logos, labels, and wayfinding where its cut-out counters and compact width can create dense, high-impact lines. It can also work for packaging and apparel graphics, especially where a stencil/industrial mood is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long body text due to its tight rhythm and highly graphic interiors.
The overall tone is bold and industrial, with a utilitarian, engineered character reminiscent of stenciled labeling and retro-futurist signage. The inverted, cut-out construction adds a punchy, high-impact texture that feels both technical and playful when set in short phrases.
The design intention appears to be a compact, high-impact display face that uses inverted, hollowed counters as a defining motif, delivering strong presence in limited horizontal space. Its consistent geometric construction suggests a focus on repeatable, modular shapes that hold up in bold, sign-like settings.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the interior cut-outs become a primary design feature, creating strong patterning in words and making counters and apertures read as sharp negative shapes. The design favors simple geometry over calligraphic nuance, so it looks most confident at display sizes where the internal openings remain clear.
