A heavy, block-based display face built from broad, simplified forms and cut with consistent stencil breaks. The geometry leans rectangular and slab-like with squared terminals, occasional angled joins, and large enclosed counters in letters like O and Q that are split by narrow vertical bridges. Curves are sturdy and compacted into thick arcs, while diagonals (V, W, X, Z) are rendered as bold wedges with sharp, engineered angles. Lowercase echoes the same construction, with single-storey shapes and prominent stencil interruptions that create a repeating rhythm across words.
Best suited to large sizes where the stencil bridges and internal cuts can be clearly resolved—posters, event titles, warning-style signage, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, labels), but the dense forms and frequent breaks make it less appropriate for long, small-size reading.
The repeated breaks and armored silhouettes give a utilitarian, no-nonsense tone—evoking labeling, equipment markings, and hard-wearing industrial graphics. It reads as bold and commanding, with a slightly aggressive edge created by the angular cuts and tight counters.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a practical, stenciled construction—prioritizing strong silhouettes, repeatable cut motifs, and an industrial graphic flavor for display typography.
Stencil breaks vary by glyph but remain visually consistent in weight and placement, producing a strong patterning in text lines. The numerals follow the same split-counter idea (notably 0, 6, 8, 9), supporting cohesive titling and signage systems.
