A heavy, geometric sans with a pronounced stencil construction: most bowls and counters are interrupted by consistent vertical cut-ins, creating bridged forms throughout the alphabet and numerals. Shapes are built from broad, flat strokes with squared terminals, rounded-rectangle curves, and occasional sharp diagonals (notably in A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y, Z). Proportions feel compact in the vertical sense with a large x-height and tightly contained apertures; spacing and internal cutouts create a rhythmic, segmented texture across words. The overall drawing is monolinear in feel, favoring blunt, utilitarian geometry over calligraphic modulation.
Best suited for large-format display uses where the stencil detailing remains clear: headlines, posters, event graphics, product packaging, and brand marks that want an industrial edge. It can also work for short signage and label-like UI moments when set with generous size and spacing, but the bridged counters are most effective when not forced into small text.
The repeated stencil breaks and slabby mass give the face an industrial, equipment-marking character that reads as functional and authoritative. Its segmented counters add a coded, mechanical tone, evoking labels, crates, and engineered surfaces. The bold, simplified silhouettes also lend a retro display energy reminiscent of mid‑century signage and utilitarian lettering.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy geometric sans foundation with a systematic stencil interruption, delivering strong impact while maintaining consistent, reproducible shapes. The repeated cut-ins suggest an emphasis on durability, marking, and a distinct engineered texture that differentiates it from conventional bold sans display faces.
Several glyphs rely on distinctive internal notches (e.g., C, G, O, S, 0) that increase visual identity but also reduce openness at smaller sizes. Diagonal letters carry substantial weight, keeping color even in headlines, while the stencil bridges introduce a consistent “striped” negative-space motif across lines of text.
