A heavy, wide, monoline sans with a rounded-rectangle construction and prominent stencil breaks throughout. Strokes terminate in soft corners, with consistent thickness and generous internal apertures created by cutouts and bridges. The overall geometry leans geometric and modular, with simplified counters and a tight, compact rhythm in text despite the broad proportions. Numerals and capitals share the same segmented logic, producing a cohesive, engineered texture across lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold display settings where the stencil breaks are legible and contribute to the design. It works well for signage, labels, packaging, and brand marks that want an industrial or tactical flavor, and can add a distinctive voice to short editorial pulls or UI banners when used sparingly.
The segmented strokes and blocky silhouettes evoke an industrial, utilitarian tone—part military marking, part factory labeling. Its rounded corners soften the severity, lending a slightly retro, mid-century equipment feel while staying bold and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clear stencil identity, combining wide, rounded forms with purposeful breaks for a manufactured, cut-out look. It prioritizes graphic character and recognizability over neutral body-text readability.
Stencil joins are large and visually deliberate, becoming a defining graphic element rather than a subtle production detail. At smaller sizes the gaps can visually merge, so the face reads best when given space and scale where the bridges remain clearly articulated.
