A heavy, geometric stencil sans with wide proportions and compact counters. Strokes are monolinear and squared-off, with consistent stencil breaks that appear as vertical or horizontal bridges cutting through bowls and joins. Curves are simplified into chunky, near-circular forms, while diagonals in letters like A, V, W, and X read as sharp, engineered shapes. The lowercase maintains the same robust, modular construction as the caps, with single-storey a and g and tightly controlled apertures that keep the texture dense and graphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and bold signage where the stencil rhythm can be a defining graphic element. It also works well for themed titles and display typography where an industrial or tactical voice is desired.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian tone—confident and hard-edged, like labeling on equipment or signage cut from sheet material. Its stencil interruptions add a tactical, mechanical feel that reads as purposeful rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to translate classic stencil construction into a contemporary, geometric display face with strong consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its broad shapes and regularized breaks aim to maximize punch and recognizability while preserving the unmistakable stencil character.
The repeated break pattern creates a strong rhythm across text, producing a distinctive “banded” texture in running lines. Because counters and openings are relatively tight, the face favors larger sizes where the stencil gaps and interior shapes remain clear.
