A heavy, block-driven sans with squared proportions and crisp, machined corners. Strokes are uniform and compact, with frequent internal cuts that create distinctive stencil bridges across bowls and counters. Curves are simplified into rounded rectangles, and diagonals appear as sharp, planar wedges, giving the design a modular, engineered rhythm. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with a single-storey a and simplified terminals; numerals are similarly squared and segmented for consistency.
Well-suited for bold headlines, posters, and logo wordmarks where a strong, industrial voice is needed. It also fits packaging and signage applications that benefit from a stenciled, labeled look, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone feels industrial and functional, evoking equipment marking, cargo labeling, and engineered signage. The repeated breaks add a tactical, coded character that reads as purposeful rather than decorative, with a rugged, no-nonsense presence.
Designed to merge a geometric, blocky sans structure with unmistakable stencil breaks, producing a high-impact display face that suggests fabrication, marking, and mechanical precision.
The stencil breaks are substantial and highly visible, becoming a key identifying feature at display sizes. Counters are relatively enclosed and the dark color dominates, so the font’s strongest performance is in short bursts where the segmented forms can be read as intentional detailing.
