A heavy, geometric sans with modular construction and frequent cutout apertures that create a stencil-like look. Forms are built from bold vertical stems and rounded bowls, with sharp triangular notches and small rectangular breaks used as internal counters and joins. The rhythm is blocky and emphatic, with simplified curves, squared terminals, and a strong reliance on negative-space carving rather than traditional open counters. Spacing and widths vary by letter, but the overall texture stays dense and poster-like.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, large headlines, brand marks, packaging, and event graphics where the cutout details can be appreciated. It can also work for titling in tech, industrial, or retro-futurist themes, but is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text due to its dense, interrupted counters.
The cutout geometry and hard-edged detailing give the face an industrial, engineered tone with a futuristic, signage-forward attitude. It feels assertive and graphic, leaning more toward visual pattern and icon-like letterforms than quiet readability.
The design appears intended as a distinctive display sans that merges geometric primitives with stencil-style interruptions, prioritizing a strong silhouette and memorable internal negative-space pattern. Its goal seems to be immediate visual impact and thematic flavor rather than neutral text performance.
Several glyphs use split bowls and interrupted strokes (notably in rounded letters and numerals), producing a distinctive “carved” internal structure that reads well at large sizes but can visually close up when reduced. The distinctive notches and breaks create a consistent motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping headings look cohesive even when letter widths fluctuate.
