A heavy, all-caps-forward sans built from compact, rounded-rectangle masses with pronounced internal cutouts. Stencil-like splits run through many bowls and counters, producing strong vertical interruptions and occasional diagonal notches that feel like punched or carved apertures. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, while straight strokes stay broad and uniform, creating a poster-weight texture with clear figure/ground separation. The lowercase is similarly blocky and simplified, with sturdy stems and counters that often open or segment, and numerals follow the same cutout logic for a consistent, modular system.
Best suited to display typography: posters, event titles, bold branding moments, packaging, and wayfinding or placard-style signage. It also works well for short, emphatic UI labels or badges where a stenciled, industrial voice is desired and size is sufficient to preserve the interior breaks.
The overall tone is utilitarian and forceful, evoking labeling, crates, equipment markings, and bold signage. Its roughened cutout details add a gritty, hands-on feel—more tactical and industrial than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stenciled, cutout construction—combining rounded-rectangle geometry with deliberate breaks to suggest manufacturing, marking, or spray-stencil application. It prioritizes bold presence and thematic character over neutral text readability in long passages.
Because many characters share similar stencil breaks and reduced internal detail, the design reads best when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes where the cutouts remain distinct. The rhythm is energetic and slightly uneven in a deliberate way, giving the text a stamped, pragmatic presence rather than a smooth, continuous flow.
