A heavy, geometric sans with a distinctly stencil-like construction. Strokes are broad and largely monolinear, with frequent vertical slit cutouts and occasional notch breaks that split bowls and counters into solid segments. Curves tend toward flattened, almost squared arcs, while straight stems and terminals are crisp and planar, creating a modular, engineered rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact in text, with strong black shapes and carefully placed internal gaps providing legibility through negative-space patterning rather than delicate detailing.
Best suited to display applications where its stencil segmentation can read as a deliberate graphic texture: posters, album/film titles, product packaging, sports or tactical-inspired branding, and bold signage. It can also work for short subheads or labels, but the dense weight and internal cutouts are most effective when given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is utilitarian and commanding, evoking industrial labeling, military markings, and mid‑century display graphics. The repeated cutouts introduce a coded, mechanized feel—more about impact and texture than neutrality—giving headlines a tough, purposeful voice.
The design appears intended to translate stencil and cut-metal aesthetics into a clean, repeatable sans system, prioritizing high impact and a distinctive cutout signature. Its consistent modular breaks suggest a focus on reproducible, sign-painting or industrial-marking flavor while maintaining an overall geometric, contemporary structure.
The slit breaks are a defining motif and appear consistently across many glyphs, producing a strong vertical cadence when set in lines. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, reading as bold signage figures with distinctive internal divisions that enhance recognition at large sizes.
