A high-contrast stencil serif with heavy vertical strokes and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals. The design uses clear stencil bridges that split bowls and joins, creating strong negative slits through letters like O, Q, and D, while many verticals read as solid pillars. Curves are clean and geometric, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm alternates between dense black masses and precise cutouts. Capitals are tall and commanding, with modestly condensed proportions in several letters, and the numerals follow the same bridged, cut-and-fill construction for a unified texture.
Works best for display applications such as posters, bold headlines, packaging, and branding where the stencil construction can be appreciated. It’s well suited to signage-inspired layouts, editorial openers, and logo wordmarks that want an industrial or cut-out feel, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking industrial marking, signage, and military or shipping-stencil aesthetics. The sharp terminals and dramatic light traps add a theatrical, poster-like energy that feels both vintage and forceful, suited to statements that need to look stamped, cut, or engineered.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif proportions with a practical stencil construction, producing a font that reads as both traditional and engineered. Its bridged forms and strong vertical emphasis suggest it was drawn for impactful display use where a stamped or fabricated aesthetic is part of the message.
In text, the frequent internal breaks create a distinctive pattern that rewards larger sizes, where the bridges read as intentional detailing rather than noise. The mix of very dark stems with thin connecting elements can make spacing feel punchy and uneven in long passages, but it provides strong character in short lines and headlines.
