A heavy, block-built sans with monoline strokes, squared proportions, and selectively rounded corners. Many forms feel constructed from straight segments and near-circular bowls, with abrupt terminals and hard notches that create a stencil-like, cutout impression in several letters (notably in the lowercase and some counters). The uppercase reads compact and sturdy with simplified geometry, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes—often resembling modular halves and vertical slabs—which increases texture and visual rhythm in text. Numerals are similarly robust and geometric, with tight counters and strong, poster-ready silhouettes.
Best suited for display applications where impact matters: headlines, posters, title cards, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also fits sports and event graphics, signage, and merchandise where the chunky geometry and cutout details can become a recognizable visual motif.
The overall tone is loud and confident, mixing industrial utility with a retro display attitude. Its cut-in details and chunky shapes give it a sporty, arcade-like energy that feels attention-seeking and slightly playful rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a constructed, modular feel—combining straightforward sans foundations with distinctive cut-in details to create a memorable, graphic voice for display typography.
Because many lowercase forms are highly stylized and can resemble partial shapes or segmented constructions, the font creates strong patterning in paragraphs but may reduce instant letter recognition at smaller sizes. The uppercase set appears more straightforward and is likely the most legible option for short headlines and badges.
