A heavy, geometric sans with a modular, stencil-like construction. Letterforms are built from broad vertical slabs and rounded bowls, interrupted by consistent internal cut-ins and notches that create segmented counters and split joins. Curves tend toward near-circular arcs while horizontals are short and squared off, producing a compact, blocky silhouette. The rhythm is tight and dense in text, with prominent ink-trap-like voids and sharp triangular incisions on diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y/Z), giving the face a distinctive, engineered texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event titles, brand marks, and packaging where the stencil breaks can function as a signature texture. It can also work for bold signage-style applications at large sizes; for continuous reading, the dense weight and internal segmentation are more visually assertive and may reduce clarity at smaller sizes.
The segmented forms read as industrial and mechanical, evoking stamped metal, cut vinyl, or painted stencils. At the same time, the exaggerated weight and playful internal breaks add a bold, poster-like energy that feels retro-futurist and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to fuse a straightforward geometric sans skeleton with a deliberate stencil/cut-out system, turning the counters and joins into a repeating graphic motif. The goal seems to be maximum visual presence and a distinctive, industrial display voice that stands out in branding and headline contexts.
In longer lines, the recurring internal gaps become the dominant visual motif, creating a patterned stripe effect across words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same cut-out logic, supporting cohesive display setting where the stencil breaks are intended as a graphic feature rather than a subtle detail.
