A heavy slab-serif design with broad proportions and compact counters, built from mostly even-weight strokes and squared terminals. Clear stencil bridges interrupt many joins and curves, creating sharp cutouts through bowls and across key junctions while keeping the overall silhouette sturdy and legible. The letterforms feel grounded and mechanical, with prominent rectangular serifs, firm shoulders, and a consistent rhythm that holds together well in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same bridged construction, maintaining a uniform, utilitarian texture across text.
Well-suited to display typography where a strong, industrial identity is desired, such as posters, large headlines, signage, and bold packaging systems. It can also work for badges, logotypes, and branding accents where the stencil detailing becomes a recognizable signature.
The font projects a tough, industrial tone—functional rather than refined—evoking stamped markings, equipment labeling, and hard-wearing signage. Its bold, blocky presence reads as confident and no-nonsense, with a vintage workmanlike character.
The design appears intended to combine the stability and familiarity of a slab-serif skeleton with unmistakable stencil breaks, producing a durable, production-oriented look that suggests sprayed, cut, or stamped letterforms. The goal is high-impact readability with a distinctive bridged texture for thematic applications.
Stencil breaks are substantial enough to be visible at display sizes and remain a defining feature of the texture in longer lines. The slab structure and strong verticals help maintain clarity, while the bridges add a distinctive, rugged patterning that becomes more apparent in continuous text.
