A heavy, block-built sans with compact counters, squared bowls, and frequent chamfered corners that create a cut-out, stenciled feel without true stencil breaks. Strokes are consistently thick and blunt-ended, with slightly irregular angles and asymmetric details that give the letterforms a hand-cut, poster-like rhythm. Uppercase forms read as wide, slabby shapes with tight internal spaces (notably in B, D, O, P, R), while the lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy structure with simple, geometric construction and minimal curvature. Numerals follow the same compact, squared logic, prioritizing mass and solidity over openness.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logotypes, event graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work well for sports or streetwear-inspired branding where a tough, blocky voice and strong silhouette are more important than delicate detail.
The overall tone is loud and assertive, with a gritty, streetwise energy that feels at home in bold headline settings. Its angular cuts and tight counters add a playful toughness—more DIY and urban than polished corporate—suggesting impact, urgency, and a bit of rebellious character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through dense, chunky shapes and simplified geometry, while adding personality via angled cuts and intentionally roughened, non-neutral construction. It’s built to read as bold, graphic lettering rather than a restrained text workhorse.
At smaller sizes the dense counters and close apertures can darken quickly, while larger sizes showcase the distinctive chamfers and quirky, cut-corner geometry. The texture across lines is strongly rhythmic and graphic, producing a uniform “black” presence that works best when the letterforms have room to breathe.
