A chunky, rounded sans with heavy, nearly monoline strokes and frequent cutouts that create a clear stencil rhythm. Curves are soft and inflated, while verticals read as solid slabs; many bowls and counters are partially opened or split by vertical bridges. Terminals tend to be blunt, with occasional wedge-like notches that add a hand-cut feel. The overall texture is dark and assertive, with lively, slightly irregular internal breaks that keep long lines visually animated.
Best suited to display settings where the bold silhouette and stencil breaks can read clearly—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short, impactful lines in editorial or social graphics when a rugged, cutout texture is desired.
The cutout construction and heavy massing give it an industrial, workwear tone, like painted markings or die-cut signage. At the same time, the rounded proportions and quirky internal splits make it feel friendly and characterful rather than purely utilitarian. It suggests a retro, poster-like energy with a crafted, tactile edge.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, high-impact display voice with an unmistakable stencil identity, combining industrial cutout logic with rounded, approachable forms. The goal appears to be instant recognition and a graphic, patterned texture when set in words.
The stencil bridges are consistently integrated into key structural areas (often through bowls and along vertical strokes), helping maintain recognizability at large sizes while emphasizing a segmented silhouette. In text, the repeated internal openings create a distinctive pattern that can become a dominant graphic element.
