A tall, upright Latin with very thin strokes and frequent internal cut-ins that break curves and terminals into stencil-like segments. The forms mix rounded bowls with sharp, squared interruptions, producing a modular rhythm where counters and joins are defined as much by negative space as by the hairline outlines. Several letters show a consistent offset/duplicate edge that reads like a subtle shadowed outline, giving the glyphs a layered, cut-through look rather than a solid silhouette. Spacing and sidebearings feel slightly uneven in a deliberate way, reinforcing a hand-cut or plotted impression in text.
Best suited to short display settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and logo wordmarks where the cutout details and shadowed layering can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging or thematic graphics that benefit from an industrial or tactical voice, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is industrial and tactical, with a clandestine, utilitarian feel reminiscent of labeling, signage, or marked equipment. The thin weight and segmented construction add tension and grit, while the shadowed layering contributes a poster-like, noir edge. It reads more expressive than neutral, prioritizing atmosphere over quiet readability.
The font appears designed to evoke a stenciled, cut-metal or plotted aesthetic by carving deliberate voids into otherwise simple skeletons and adding a consistent shadowed duplication. The intention seems to be creating a distinctive display texture that feels manufactured and slightly gritty while keeping letterforms recognizable.
The design relies on small gaps and notches to articulate structure, so the texture becomes more pronounced as size increases. In continuous text, the repeated cut-ins create a lively, flickering pattern that can feel energetic but also demanding at small sizes or low contrast.
