A heavy, geometric display face built from near-monoline strokes and large, simplified counters. Letterforms are constructed with intentional breaks and sharp internal cut-ins that create clear bridges and strong negative-space patterns. Curves tend toward semicircular bowls while diagonals are steep and clean, giving the alphabet a modular, engineered feel. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure closely, with a large x-height and compact interior spaces that emphasize silhouette over detail.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and branding where bold shapes and a distinctive broken-stroke texture are desirable. It also works well for signage-inspired graphics, album art, and packaging systems that benefit from a strong, repeatable geometric rhythm.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage industrial flavor. The repeated cutouts add drama and a coded, mechanical rhythm that reads as tough, functional, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, constructed look, using deliberate interruptions to suggest stenciling and industrial fabrication while keeping forms highly legible at display sizes.
At smaller sizes the internal notches and stencil breaks become the defining texture, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect the overall pattern and density. Numerals follow the same split-stem logic, maintaining a consistent, poster-like presence.
