A bold, stencil-cut display face with broad, monolinear strokes and deliberate breaks that create clear bridges across counters and joins. Letterforms mix straight, hard-edged segments with occasional rounded bowls, producing a slightly irregular rhythm and a hand-cut feel rather than geometric precision. Terminals are blunt and often slanted, and several glyphs show asymmetric cuts that add texture and movement in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and caps read strongly at headline sizes, with counters kept open by the stencil gaps to preserve recognition.
Best suited to posters, headlines, signage, and branded labels where the stencil texture can function as a visual motif. It also works well for packaging, event graphics, and themed titles that need an industrial or tactical flavor, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the bridges stay crisp and legible.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking labeled equipment, shipping marks, and field-ready graphics. Its rough-cut interruptions and chunky silhouettes give it a tactical, no-nonsense personality with a hint of DIY grit.
Designed to deliver an unmistakable stencil identity with strong silhouettes and intentional cutouts that maintain legibility while adding a rugged, manufactured texture. The slightly irregular cuts suggest a practical, hand-applied marking style tailored for bold display settings.
The stencil gaps become a defining texture in continuous text, creating a punctuated pattern along strokes and bowls. Spacing and shapes feel intentionally uneven in places, which can add character but will be most effective when the font is allowed to read as a graphic element rather than a neutral text face.
