A heavy, geometric display sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms. Curves are broad and controlled, countershapes are tight, and many letters use deliberate vertical cut-ins that create a stencil-like split while keeping the overall silhouette solid. Terminals are mostly flat and squared, with minimal detailing and a consistent, grid-minded construction. The result is a compact rhythm with strong figure/ground contrast and clear, logo-friendly shapes in both caps and lowercase, plus lining numerals with similarly punched-in interior detailing.
Best used for posters, headlines, and short editorial titles where the distinctive internal cut-ins remain legible. It also suits logos, packaging, and signage that benefit from a bold, retro-industrial voice. For long passages or small sizes, the tight counters and stencil-like apertures may reduce readability compared with more open grotesques.
The tone reads retro and architectural, with an Art Deco flavor and a slightly industrial, sign-painted confidence. Its chunky forms and carved-in apertures feel assertive and theatrical, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than subtle text.
The design appears intended to combine simple geometric construction with a carved, decorative internal vocabulary, producing a strong display face that feels both vintage and engineered. Its consistent superellipse geometry and punched-in detailing suggest a focus on impactful branding and headline typography.
Several round letters (notably those with bowls) rely on narrow internal slits rather than open counters, giving words a distinctive striped texture at larger sizes. The design maintains consistency across letters and numerals, so mixed alphanumeric settings keep the same bold, cut-out character.
