A wide, high-contrast slab serif with compact curves and pronounced, squared terminals. Many strokes show deliberate cut-ins and notches where stems meet bowls or arms, creating a segmented, almost stencil-like construction without fully breaking the forms. Rounded letters (O, C, G, Q) are smooth and geometric, while horizontals often thin into hairline-like connections against heavier verticals and slabs. The lowercase is built with similarly blocky serifs and simplified joins, and the numerals follow the same system with bold outer shapes and thin internal links, producing a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display typography where its notched slab detailing can be appreciated: headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It performs particularly well in short, punchy settings and titling where the wide proportions and high contrast can create a distinctive brand voice.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and industrial, mixing a mid-century display sensibility with a slightly game/arcade and mechanical sign-painting attitude. The notched joins and strong slabs add a crafted, machine-cut character that reads bold and attention-seeking while staying orderly and systematic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a slab serif through a modular, cut-out construction, balancing sturdy sign-like slabs with elegant, thinned connections. Its consistent notching and engineered joins suggest a focus on distinctive display impact and a recognizable, system-driven texture across text.
Counters tend to be generous for a display face, but the thin connectors and tight internal clearances can become visually busy at smaller sizes. The wide set and strong horizontal emphasis give lines a stable, banner-like presence, especially in all caps and short phrases.
