A condensed, heavy display face built from chunky strokes with pronounced cut-ins and notched counters that create a stencil-like, hollowed impression. Forms are largely geometric and upright, with squared terminals and strong vertical emphasis; rounded letters keep tight apertures and clipped curves. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified, compact joins, while figures are similarly tight and graphic, with some asymmetry and quirky cuts that add texture. Overall spacing and widths feel intentionally irregular, giving the set a slightly handmade, modular rhythm rather than strict uniformity.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, logotypes, and bold packaging panels where the cut-out detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for themed graphics—industrial, arcade, or retro-tech—especially when set large with generous leading.
The font projects an industrial, poster-forward energy with a playful edge. Its inverted/knockout look and sharp notches evoke safety signage, DIY labeling, and retro tech aesthetics, delivering high visual impact and a sense of urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum contrast through an inverted, hollowed construction while keeping letterforms compact and upright. Its notched geometry suggests a modular, stencil-informed approach meant for attention-grabbing display typography rather than extended reading.
In running text, the dense black-and-white patterning and narrow silhouettes produce strong word-shapes but can create busy interior flicker at small sizes. The most distinctive identity comes from the consistent system of interior cut-outs and wedge-like notches, which reads as deliberate construction rather than distress.
