A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with rectilinear construction and a strong, poster-style presence. Letterforms are built from heavy verticals and compact bowls, with deliberate interior cut-outs that read as inlined counters; these openings are often squared-off and tightly fitted, creating a crisp, engineered silhouette. Curves are minimized and when present (e.g., O/C/G) they stay compact and sturdy, keeping a consistent, sign-like rhythm. The lowercase follows the same condensed logic with simplified shapes and a tall x-height feel, while numerals are equally tight and blocky for uniform texture in runs of text.
Works well for posters, headlines, product labels, and compact signage where a tall, compressed word shape helps fit copy into narrow spaces. It also suits logotypes and branding that want an industrial or stamped aesthetic, especially when set large enough for the internal cut-outs to remain clear.
The tone is bold and utilitarian—more “label maker” and wayfinding than literary text. Its cut-out interiors add a mechanical, stamped character that feels industrial and slightly retro, with a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal space while adding distinctive character through carved-out interiors. The consistent, blocky geometry suggests an emphasis on reproducibility and strong silhouettes for display applications rather than long-form reading.
The inverted, cut-out treatment makes counters and internal notches a primary design feature, so spacing and rhythm are driven as much by the interior voids as by the outer silhouettes. In longer strings the condensed proportions produce a dense, vertical texture that reads best at display sizes or where high-impact compression is desired.
