A heavy, compact slab-serif design with squared terminals and prominent, block-like serifs. Strokes show a distinctive interrupted construction: many joins and mid-strokes are cut with rectangular gaps or notches, creating a stencil-like rhythm and strong internal counter-shaping. Rounds (O, Q, C, G, 0) are broadly oval with flattened feel, while verticals and slabs read crisp and architectural; diagonals (K, N, V, W, X, Y) keep the same notched logic for a consistent engineered texture. Lowercase forms follow the same robust build, with simplified, chunky bowls and clear, rectangular punctuation-like breaks that add texture at text sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short-form settings where its cut-in detailing can be appreciated—posters, bold editorial openers, packaging, labels, and branding marks. It can work for signage and large typographic graphics, especially where an industrial or retro-constructed aesthetic is desired; extended reading in small sizes may emphasize the gaps more than intended.
The overall tone feels industrial and mechanical, with a retro display energy reminiscent of stamped lettering, cut metal, or constructed signage. The repeated gaps and notches add a playful, slightly quirky personality while still reading sturdy and utilitarian. It conveys a sense of fabrication and machinery rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy slab-serif skeleton with an engineered, interrupted stroke system that adds visual texture and memorability. Its goal is likely to deliver instant impact and a distinctive constructed look while maintaining clear letter identities across upper- and lowercase and numerals.
The notches function like built-in detailing (similar to ink traps or stencil bridges), producing a high-contrast black/white pattern even in short words. Numerals mirror the same construction, with rounded figures (6, 8, 9) showing prominent internal cutouts that become a key identifying feature.
