A heavy, wide display sans with sharply faceted contours and crisp, angular terminals. Strokes are predominantly blocky and geometric, with noticeable internal notches and wedge-like cuts that create a chiseled, almost stenciled texture. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal (especially in O/C/G and the numerals), and joins frequently form pointed corners rather than smooth curves. Overall spacing reads sturdy and dense, with an intentionally irregular rhythm created by the repeated cut-ins and angled apertures.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its cut-in details can read clearly: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold wayfinding or placard-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or titles when a rugged, industrial voice is desired, but the dense interiors and textured shapes make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The face projects a tough, industrial confidence with a retro, machine-cut feel. Its carved-in details and hard angles suggest utilitarian signage and bold branding, leaning more rugged than refined. The tone is loud and energetic, designed to catch attention rather than disappear into body text.
This design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display sans that blends geometric block construction with carved, stencil-like interruptions. The consistent faceting across letters and numbers suggests a deliberate goal of creating a distinctive, hard-edged identity suitable for impactful branding and title typography.
Distinctive bite-like notches appear throughout (notably in S, C, G, and several lowercase forms), functioning like built-in ink traps and adding texture at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same faceted construction, keeping a consistent silhouette language across cases. Numerals are equally angular and compact, matching the headline-oriented weight and presence.
