A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with clear stencil breaks that create consistent internal bridges across stems, bowls, and crossbars. Forms are upright and largely monolinear, with squared terminals, broad verticals, and compact counters that emphasize mass and solidity. The lowercase follows the same engineered logic, with single-storey shapes and sturdy, rectangular proportions that read crisply at display sizes. Numerals mirror the caps’ structure, using the same cut-in stencil joins for a uniform, systematized texture.
Well-suited for posters, bold headlines, packaging, and signage where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It also works effectively for labels, wayfinding, and branded graphics that want an industrial or military-coded voice.
The overall tone feels industrial and directive, evoking labeling, equipment marking, and no-nonsense signage. Its rigid geometry and deliberate gaps add a technical, tactical edge that can also read as vintage or institutional depending on context.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a slab serif with practical stencil construction, balancing legibility with a rugged, manufactured feel. Its consistent bridges and squared details suggest a focus on repeatable, mark-making forms for impactful display typography.
Stencil interruptions are applied in a disciplined, repeatable way, producing a rhythmic pattern of notches that stays consistent across the set. The weight and tight apertures favor short headlines and marks over extended small-size text.
