A heavy, block-built slab serif with crisp stencil breaks and an overall octagonal geometry. Strokes are uniform and blunt-ended, with squared terminals, compact internal counters, and frequent chamfered corners that give a machined look. The stencil bridges are consistently placed across bowls and stems, creating strong vertical rhythm and high-impact silhouettes. Uppercase forms feel especially structured and poster-like, while the lowercase is simplified and sturdy, maintaining the same hard-edged construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging labels, and wayfinding where an industrial stencil voice is desired. It works well for logos and badges that need a stamped or cut-metal feel, and for short display text where the notches and bridges can be appreciated.
The tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking marked equipment, shipping labels, and military-style signage. Its bold, broken construction reads as tough and functional rather than refined, with a distinctly retro utilitarian flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a cut-out stencil structure, pairing slab-serif solidity with systematic breaks for a fabricated, ready-to-mark aesthetic. The consistent chamfers and blunt terminals suggest an intention to feel engineered and durable, optimized for bold display settings.
The design relies on clear negative cuts for identity, so it benefits from generous size and spacing where the stencil gaps remain obvious. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest presence, with a consistent set of chamfers and slab details that keep long lines visually cohesive.
