A compact, heavy sans with squared silhouettes and softened corners, built from broad strokes and tight counters. Many glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and notched terminals that create a semi-stencil, punched-out feeling without fully breaking forms apart. Curves are simplified into flattened arcs and straight segments, producing a sturdy rhythm and strong horizontal presence in text. Numerals and capitals are especially boxy and weighty, with small apertures and consistent, assertive shapes across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other high-impact display settings where the dense weight and notched details can be appreciated. It can work well for logos, packaging, and branding that aims for an industrial or retro-stamped voice, and for energetic themes such as sports or entertainment where strong silhouette recognition is valuable.
The overall tone feels industrial and workmanlike, with a retro display energy that reads like stamped lettering or cut vinyl. Its notches add a playful edge while still conveying toughness and impact, making the texture feel bold and graphic rather than refined or minimal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive industrial twist, using cut-in details to differentiate a straightforward blocky sans from more conventional heavy grotesques. It prioritizes bold texture and memorable shapes for display typography rather than quiet, text-first neutrality.
The font’s distinctive internal cutouts and terminal bites become more apparent at larger sizes, where they contribute to a patterned, mechanical texture. In longer lines, the dense color and compact counters can look intentionally forceful, favoring headline punch over delicate typographic nuance.
