A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and consistent, monoline stroke weight. Forms are built from straight runs and broad curves with a generally vertical, engineered posture. Distinct stencil cut-ins appear throughout, creating bridges in bowls, counters, and joins; these breaks are crisp and typically vertical or slightly offset, producing a punched, fabricated look. Terminals are mostly flat, counters are compact, and the overall rhythm is blocky and assertive with clear separation between letters in display settings.
Best suited to display sizes where the stencil bridges read clearly—posters, headlines, product packaging, and branding that aims for a rugged, technical voice. It also works well for wayfinding-style signage, labels, and large numerals on equipment or event graphics, where bold legibility and a fabricated aesthetic are desired.
The stencil interruptions and rigid construction evoke industrial marking, equipment labeling, and military/utility graphics. Its tone is functional and tough rather than friendly, with a mechanized, manufactured character that feels suited to warnings, IDs, and bold statements.
The design appears intended to translate classic stencil construction into a clean, modern geometric style, balancing strong readability with the distinctive cut-and-bridge motif. It prioritizes impact and a utilitarian visual signature over softness or typographic nuance for long-form text.
Uppercase shapes maintain strong uniformity and a squared silhouette, while lowercase retains the same cutout logic for continuity. Numerals follow the same stencil system, keeping the set visually cohesive for coding, labels, and large-scale numbering.
