A heavy, stencil-driven sans with rounded construction and frequent cut-ins that create clear bridges across counters and joins. Strokes are broad and mostly monolinear, but edges are intentionally irregular, with rough, chipped contours that mimic worn paint or imperfect printing. Curves stay fairly geometric while terminals often look cut or shaved, producing a rugged silhouette and a lively, uneven texture across words. Spacing feels straightforward and functional, and the stencil breaks remain consistent enough to read well at display sizes.
Well suited for posters, headlines, logos, and short callouts where a tough stencil aesthetic is desirable. It also fits signage, packaging, and editorial display applications that benefit from an industrial, worn-mark imprint, especially at medium to large sizes where the breaks and rough edges stay clear.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking sprayed markings, shipping crates, workshop signage, and military-style labeling. Its distressed finish adds grit and attitude, making the texture feel rugged rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to blend a geometric sans foundation with a practical stencil construction, then add deliberate distress to suggest wear, paint, or stamped ink. The goal is strong impact with an unmistakably rugged, functional character for display-forward typography.
The stencil gaps are prominent in rounded letters and numerals, giving many characters a segmented, mechanical look. The distressed perimeter creates noticeable texture in longer lines of text, so the face reads best when that roughness is meant to be part of the visual message.
