A heavy, compact sans with squared counters, rounded corners, and frequent angled or notched cut-ins that create a subtly “carved” silhouette. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls, terminals tend to finish bluntly, and interior spaces often read as rounded-rectangles rather than circles. The rhythm is chunky and energetic, with small irregularities in stroke shaping and occasional cutout details that give letters a slightly constructed, display-oriented feel rather than a purely neutral grotesk.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where strong presence and character are desired. It works well for sports and streetwear aesthetics, bold packaging panels, and punchy promotional graphics, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the cut details are clearly visible.
The overall tone feels tough and high-impact, with a sporty, industrial edge. The added nicks and cut shapes introduce a playful, retro poster vibe—assertive and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive constructed texture—combining a robust sans skeleton with notched, chiseled details that keep large blocks of text visually lively. It prioritizes display personality and memorability over neutrality.
Several glyphs show distinctive internal cutouts and angular joins that can read as stencil or incised detailing, especially in round letters and numerals. This helps separation at large sizes and adds personality, but also makes the design feel intentionally stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
