A heavy, slab-serif stencil with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are largely monolinear, with squared terminals and robust, bracketless slab feet that give the letterforms a solid, block-built silhouette. Stencil breaks are consistently applied through key joins and bowls, creating clear bridges and strong negative shapes that stay legible at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same sturdy construction with a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm, while figures are equally bold and simplified for punchy emphasis.
Well suited for bold headlines, posters, and branding moments where a rugged stencil voice is desired. It also works effectively for signage-style applications—labels, packaging, and title treatments—where clarity and impact matter more than fine detail.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and tough, evoking painted signage, shipping marks, and equipment labeling. Its assertive mass and stencil cuts add a sense of authority and practicality, with a slightly vintage, industrial edge.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic stencil impression in a slab-serif framework, prioritizing strength, immediate recognizability, and a manufactured, practical character for display typography.
The design relies on large shapes and simple joins, making it read best when given room; at smaller sizes, the stencil gaps and tight counters can begin to visually merge. In all-caps settings it becomes especially commanding, while mixed-case retains a consistent, mechanical texture.
