A heavy, geometric sans built from broad, near-monoline strokes and simplified shapes. Letterforms are constructed with deliberate breaks and cut-ins—vertical slits, small notches, and occasional circular counters—creating a segmented, stencil-like structure. Curves are clean and rounded where present (C, O, S), while diagonals are sharply planar (A, V, W, Y), producing a strongly modular rhythm. The overall spacing and proportions favor bold silhouettes with compact internal counters, prioritizing graphic impact over delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines and short settings where the segmented forms can be appreciated at display sizes. It works well for posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage that benefit from a bold, industrial-stencil tone. In longer text, the frequent internal breaks may create a busy texture, so generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity.
The segmented construction and hard-edged geometry give the font an industrial, engineered feel with a retro display energy. It reads as confident and assertive, evoking signage, machinery markings, and stylized sci‑fi or sports branding aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact geometric sans with a signature cut/stencil system, balancing legibility with a distinctive constructed look. The consistent use of notches and splits suggests a focus on creating a recognizable voice for display typography rather than a neutral workhorse.
Distinctive interior cuts recur across many glyphs, acting as a unifying motif and helping differentiate similar shapes at large sizes. The numerals and capitals lean especially graphic, with several characters using split bowls and punctuated counters that become a key part of the texture in words and headlines.
