A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions, broad curves, and crisp, cut-in terminals. The letterforms are built from simplified geometric shapes and consistent stroke weight, with frequent stencil-like breaks that create small bridges and notches through bowls and joins. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are trimmed, producing a dense, high-impact texture that stays coherent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large-size display settings where the stencil breaks can be clearly seen: posters, headlines, sports or fitness identities, event graphics, packaging, and bold label systems. It can also work for short UI or signage words when the size and spacing allow the interior cuts to remain legible.
The overall tone feels assertive and utilitarian, like industrial labeling or performance branding. The stencil interruptions add a tactical, engineered flavor, while the forward slant and blocky construction push the voice toward speed, action, and urgency.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a controlled, engineered stencil motif, combining a forward-leaning stance with simplified geometry for strong brand presence. The consistent, repeatable cut patterns suggest a focus on recognizability and a distinctive texture across an alphabet rather than decorative irregularity.
Stencil cuts are applied systematically in both straight and rounded structures, so the “broken” rhythm reads as an intentional pattern rather than distressed wear. Rounded characters (such as O/Q/0 and e) keep smooth outer silhouettes while the inner interruptions add contrast in texture without changing weight.
