A bold, geometric stencil serif with sharp triangular cut-ins and consistent stencil bridges that carve clear gaps into stems and bowls. The letterforms lean on strong verticals and clean, near-monoline stroke behavior, while round shapes (O, C, G, Q, 0) are built from smooth, simplified curves interrupted by decisive breaks. Capitals feel compact and architectural, and the lowercase keeps a sturdy, editorial silhouette with a two-storey g, narrow joins, and punctuated terminals that read as deliberate cutaways rather than soft serifs.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil detailing can be appreciated: posters, headlines, identity systems, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a strong, graphic texture is desired.
The overall tone is industrial and commanding, combining a classic serif foundation with a hard, engineered stencil logic. The repeated notches and breaks add a controlled tension that feels utilitarian and modern, with a slightly militaristic or signage-like confidence.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional serif proportions with a systematic stencil construction, producing a distinctive, reproducible look that feels engineered and robust. Its consistent bridges and sharp cut geometry suggest a focus on high-impact titles and theme-forward branding rather than long-form reading.
Spacing and rhythm read clean and even in text, with the stencil gaps remaining legible at display sizes and creating a distinctive texture across lines. Numerals follow the same cutaway system, giving figures a cohesive, branded look suitable for numbering and short data labels.
