A stencil-like sans with rounded, looped forms and consistent breaks that create clear cutouts inside counters and along strokes. The letterforms are built from broad, brushy-looking strokes with slightly uneven edges, giving a lightly distressed texture while keeping sturdy overall silhouettes. Curves in C, G, O, and Q are nearly circular, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) stay simple and blocky; diagonals in V, W, X, and Y are sharp and assertive. Spacing and widths vary noticeably by glyph, producing a lively rhythm in text while maintaining an even baseline and stable vertical stance.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil construction can read clearly—posters, bold headlines, packaging, signage, and product labels. It can also work for short blocks of text when a gritty, industrial voice is desired, though the distressed edges and variable widths may feel busy in long-form reading.
The font conveys a functional, industrial tone associated with labeling, equipment marking, and cutout signage. Its repeated stencil breaks and subtly rough edges add grit and urgency, balancing practicality with a handmade, worn-in character.
Likely designed to evoke stencil-cut lettering used in practical marking systems while retaining friendly, rounded geometry for readability. The slightly distressed stroke edges appear intended to add authenticity and tactile realism without sacrificing the clarity of the underlying shapes.
The stencil gaps are large enough to remain legible at display sizes, and the counters stay open despite the heavy, inked appearance. Numerals follow the same cutout logic (notably 0, 6, 8, 9), reinforcing a cohesive system across letters and figures.
