A heavy, geometric slab-serif design with deliberate stencil breaks and triangular notches that carve into bowls, joins, and terminals. The letterforms are built from broad verticals and compact curves, giving a strong, blocky silhouette and a crisp, high-impact texture at display sizes. Stencil bridges appear consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, often as sharp wedges or separated counters, creating a rhythmic pattern of cutouts without relying on thin hairlines. Spacing reads moderately tight in text, with sturdy proportions and clear, simplified construction throughout.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where the stencil cutouts can read clearly and add character. It can work for short bursts of text and pull quotes, but the strong internal breaks make it most effective when set large or with generous tracking.
The repeated cutouts and chunky slabs evoke industrial labeling, military or shipping marks, and architectural signage. Its tone is bold and declarative, with a slightly retro, Art-Deco-meets-factory feel driven by geometric wedges and clean, mechanical shapes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold stencil aesthetic with a refined geometric construction, combining slab-serif authority with industrial cutout detailing. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a distinctive rhythm of negative-space bridges to create immediate visual impact in display settings.
Lowercase forms mirror the uppercase’s structural logic, with simplified shapes and stencil openings that sometimes become the defining feature of the counter (notably in rounded letters and numerals). The numerals are especially graphic, with dramatic internal separations that enhance the stencil character and add a rugged, engineered personality.
