A heavy, block-built display face with angular, squared-off forms and consistently thick strokes. Counters are tight and often rectangular, with frequent interior cut-ins and notches that create a stencil-like, carved feel. Terminals and joins tend toward sharp corners and stepped geometry, while the baseline and cap line show a subtle waviness from irregular sidebearings and slightly uneven silhouettes. The overall texture is dense and high-contrast against the page, with compact apertures and a distinctly modular rhythm across upper- and lowercase.
Best suited for large-size settings where its tight counters and notched details can be appreciated—posters, title treatments, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for game UI or event graphics when a bold, constructed texture is desired, but is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes due to its dense interior spaces.
The letterforms project a rugged, constructed personality—somewhere between arcade/retro graphics and hand-cut signage. The notched shapes add a mischievous, slightly cryptic tone that can read as fantasy or game-like, while the mass and squareness keep it tough and industrial.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display sans with a deliberately engineered, cut-out aesthetic. Its consistent stroke weight and geometric construction prioritize impact and character over neutrality, aiming to create a distinctive, poster-ready voice.
Lowercase retains the same geometric, blocky logic as capitals, minimizing traditional calligraphic cues and emphasizing a unified display voice. Numerals match the alphabet’s squared counters and cutaway details, keeping consistency for headlines and short numeric bursts.
