A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif design with clear stencil breaks that create consistent bridges in bowls, joints, and terminals. Letterforms are built from broad, blocky strokes with crisp chamfered corners and minimal curvature, giving the outlines a faceted, machined feel. The proportions read sturdy and slightly extended, with compact internal counters and strong horizontal emphasis; the numerals follow the same cut-and-bridged construction for a uniform texture. Overall rhythm is punchy and high-contrast in silhouette, optimized for impact rather than delicate detail.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding lockups, packaging, and apparel graphics where the stencil breaks become part of the identity. It also works well for labels, signage, and themed event materials that benefit from a utilitarian, industrial voice. For longer copy, use at larger sizes with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The font projects an industrial, militaristic tone—confident, utilitarian, and purpose-built. Its angled stance and cutaway stencil structure add motion and urgency, while the slabby massing keeps it forceful and direct. The overall impression is rugged and retro, suited to graphics that want to feel engineered and tough.
The design appears intended to blend a classic slab-serif skeleton with a purposeful stencil construction, creating a display face that feels manufactured and ready for practical marking. The italic lean and angular cutaways emphasize speed and toughness while keeping a consistent, repeatable system across the character set.
Stencil gaps are integrated as deliberate design features rather than incidental damage, and they repeat predictably across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines of text maintain a consistent pattern. The italic slant and angular notches can make dense paragraphs feel busy at small sizes, but they heighten character in display settings.
