A bold, geometric stencil with monoline strokes and clean, squared terminals. Letterforms are built from sturdy verticals and broad curves that are deliberately interrupted by consistent stencil bridges, producing strong internal cutouts in round letters and segmented joins in diagonals. Counters are generally open and simple, with a compact, engineered rhythm; lowercase forms keep a sturdy, near-bitmap solidity with occasional angled notches and clipped details. Numerals follow the same segmented construction, with prominent breaks that remain readable at display sizes.
Well-suited to display typography where a stenciled, industrial voice is desired—posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works for UI badges or section headers when you want a tactical/utility feel, but the strong stencil interruptions make it most effective at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking stenciled markings on equipment, crates, and signage. Its segmented strokes suggest precision, regulation, and a rugged, functional aesthetic rather than softness or elegance.
Designed to deliver a robust stencil look with consistent bridges and a compact, engineered structure, emphasizing impact and recognizability for marked surfaces and attention-grabbing display settings.
Stencil breaks are placed in a fairly systematic way across straights and bowls, creating a consistent visual signature and strong texture in paragraphs. The dense black shapes and frequent internal gaps can create a lively patterning in longer text, making it feel more like labeling and headlines than continuous reading.
