A compact, squared sans with heavy vertical emphasis and tightly controlled counters. The glyphs are built from broad, blocky strokes with frequent interior cut-outs and notches that read as punched or carved shapes, creating an inverted, hollowed feel. Curves are minimized and often rendered as rounded-rectangle turns rather than true arcs, while diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are crisp and geometric. Spacing and widths vary by character, producing a slightly irregular rhythm that adds a mechanical, modular texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where punchy contrast and a constructed, cut-out look are desirable: headlines, posters, branding marks, product labeling, and packaging. It also works well for signage-style compositions and UI accents when used sparingly and at larger sizes.
The font conveys an industrial, machine-made tone—stark, utilitarian, and a bit arcade/tech in flavor. The cut-out construction adds a rugged, engineered character that feels suited to labels, equipment markings, and bold display messaging rather than delicate reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint while introducing an engineered, hollowed construction for visual identity. Its modular geometry and interior cut-outs suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, industrial display face that remains legible in bold, high-contrast layouts.
The numerals and uppercase forms stay strongly box-aligned, and the lowercase maintains a tall, compact silhouette that preserves impact at smaller sizes. The repeated internal apertures and squared terminals create strong figure/ground effects, especially in high-contrast settings or when reversed.
