A heavy, slanted sans with a distinctly stenciled construction: many round and curved letters are interrupted by vertical cutouts, creating a segmented, engineered look. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with blunt terminals and minimal curvature modulation. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, while diagonals and stems keep a sturdy, forward-leaning rhythm. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with consistent cutout placement that reads as a deliberate design motif across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to large sizes where the stencil breaks remain clear—headlines, posters, product marks, athletic/event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for labels or signage where an industrial or equipment-inspired aesthetic is desired, while extended small-size reading may feel busy due to the repeated cutouts.
The segmented cutouts and forward slant give the face an industrial, tactical tone—confident, utilitarian, and built for impact. It evokes stenciling, equipment labeling, and high-energy sports or action branding rather than neutral editorial typography.
The design appears intended to merge a strong, contemporary sans foundation with a systematic stencil-like interruption, creating a distinctive, high-recognition display voice. The slanted stance reinforces motion and urgency, positioning it for assertive branding and graphic typographic applications.
The signature cutouts are most prominent in letters with bowls and rounds (such as C, G, O, Q, e, o, and numerals like 0, 6, 8, 9), producing strong internal highlights and a recognizable pattern at a glance. In longer text the motif becomes a repeating cadence, so spacing and size will influence whether it reads as a crisp stencil detail or a dominant graphic texture.
