A heavy, display-oriented stencil with broad proportions and large, blocky forms. The lettershapes are built from simple geometric masses with sharp triangular notches and consistent stencil breaks that carve through bowls, diagonals, and joins. Curves are chunky and close to circular, while stems and diagonals keep a rigid, cut-paper feel; counters are often reduced by the breaks, boosting overall density. The rhythm is emphatic and uniform, with minimal stroke nuance and a strong preference for straight terminals and crisp internal cuts.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as posters, headlines, album/film titles, and bold brand marks where the stencil cuts are a feature, not a distraction. It can also work for signage and packaging that aims for an industrial, tactical, or retro-stenciled aesthetic, especially in short phrases and large settings.
The font projects a rugged, utilitarian tone with a hint of vintage signage and military/industrial marking. Its sliced openings add tension and motion, creating a bold, engineered personality that feels deliberate and uncompromising.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, geometric forms while clearly signaling a stencil construction via repeated bridges and angular incisions. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and a distinctive, crafted-through-cuts texture over continuous stroke flow.
The stencil bridges are a defining visual feature and remain prominent at text sizes, where the notches can begin to dominate interior space. The design reads best when given room—larger sizes and shorter lines help maintain clarity and preserve the distinctive cut patterns.
