A condensed, heavy-weight stencil sans with mostly uniform stroke thickness and crisp, squared terminals. The forms are constructed from simple geometric primitives—straight verticals, flat horizontals, and rounded bowls—interrupted by consistent stencil bridges that create clear interior breaks across counters and joins. Curves are tight and compact, apertures tend to be restrained, and the overall texture is dense and high-impact, producing a strong rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same bridged construction, with especially prominent vertical segmentation in rounded figures like 0, 6, 8, and 9.
Best used for bold headlines, posters, wayfinding, and product or shipping-style labeling where a rugged stencil voice is desired. It also fits branding for industrial, tactical, automotive, or maker-oriented themes, and works well in large display sizes where the bridged details become a defining feature.
The design reads as utilitarian and forceful, evoking industrial labeling, equipment marking, and institutional signage. The repeated breaks add a technical, fabricated feel—like cut metal or painted stenciling—giving the face a disciplined, no-nonsense tone.
The letterforms appear designed to mimic practical stenciled application while staying typographically consistent and contemporary. The goal is a compact, impactful display face with reliable stencil breaks that read clearly in high-contrast reproduction.
The stencil interruptions are visually systematic, which helps maintain legibility while reinforcing the constructed character. In longer text, the dense weight and frequent internal breaks create a strong pattern, making it better suited to short bursts of copy than extended reading at small sizes.
