A heavy slab-serif design with broad proportions, compact counters, and a sturdy, poster-oriented build. The strokes are punctuated by consistent inline cut-outs and small notches that read like chiseled or distressed interruptions, producing a textured, screen-printed feel rather than clean geometry. Corners are slightly softened and many joins show subtle scoops/ink-trap-like bites, helping the dense shapes stay legible at display sizes. Numerals and capitals feel especially blocky and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same weighty rhythm with simple, robust forms.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, large headlines, brand marks, and packaging where the inline carving and rugged texture can be appreciated. It can also work for sports or event graphics and bold signage, especially when paired with simpler body text for contrast.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, mixing vintage signage energy with a tough, workwear sensibility. The carved inline detail adds a crafted, stamped character that feels sporty and slightly gritty, giving headlines a loud, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a strong slab structure while adding personality through carved inline detailing and controlled distressing. Its proportions and rhythm prioritize punchy readability and a vintage-industrial voice for attention-first typography.
The inline cut-outs are irregular enough to suggest intentional distressing, but remain systematic across the set so text still holds together in paragraphs of display copy. Tight internal spaces in letters like B, P, and R make the design most comfortable at larger sizes where the texture can read clearly.
