A blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistent, low-contrast strokes. Many letters are built from segmented shapes with deliberate breaks and notches, creating stencil-like counters and interrupted curves. Corners are softly squared rather than sharp, while terminals stay blunt and uniform, giving the forms a machined, modular feel. Proportions lean compact and sturdy with a tall lowercase presence, and the overall rhythm alternates between solid strokes and small gaps that add texture without becoming decorative.
Best suited for display use: posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and identity work that benefits from a stenciled/industrial voice. It can work for short bursts of text (labels, subheads, callouts) where the segmented detailing remains clear, especially at medium-to-large sizes and with comfortable letterspacing.
The font conveys an industrial, tactical tone—like sprayed markings, equipment labels, or stamped signage. Its segmented details introduce a rugged, utilitarian texture that reads assertive and functional, with a slightly retro-military and warehouse-label flavor. The rounded corners soften the severity just enough to feel designed rather than purely improvised.
The design appears intended to merge a rounded-rectangular sans foundation with stencil-like interruptions, producing a practical, mark-making aesthetic. The goal seems to be strong presence and instant recognizability—communicating durability and function while staying visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Breaks are used systematically across rounded letters (such as C, O, Q, S) and also appear as small cut-ins on some verticals, which adds a distinctive “coded” look. The sample text shows strong word shape at larger sizes, while the repeated internal gaps can create a busy texture if set too small or too tightly tracked.
