A heavy, block-based sans with a clear stencil construction throughout: vertical breaks and internal bridges split bowls and counters in letters like A, O, P, R, and S. Strokes are largely uniform and straight, with squared terminals and simplified curves that read as carved or cut-out shapes. The drawing feels intentionally imperfect, with slightly irregular edges and uneven ink-like contours that add a worn, stamped texture. Spacing and letterfit are sturdy and poster-oriented, favoring strong silhouettes over delicate interior detail.
Best suited for large-scale display work where the stencil breaks become a key graphic feature—posters, event titles, warning-style signage, product labels, and packaging. It also works well for short bursts of text on apparel graphics or editorial callouts where a rugged industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking shipping crates, stenciled equipment labels, and painted signage. Its roughness adds a gritty, hands-on character that feels practical rather than refined, lending a sense of urgency and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakable stencil look with bold presence and a deliberately weathered finish, prioritizing impact and a practical, marked-on-surface aesthetic over neutral readability.
Counters are often narrowed or partially closed by the stencil bridges, which can reduce clarity at small sizes but strengthens recognition at large display sizes. Numerals match the same bridged stencil logic, keeping the set visually consistent across headlines and numbering.
