A bold, rounded stencil letterform with broad proportions and softly chamfered terminals. Strokes are built from heavy, low-contrast shapes that break into separated segments, with consistent stencil bridges that carve out counters and joints. Curves are compact and somewhat squarish, giving letters like O, C, and G a robust, mechanical feel, while verticals remain dominant and steady. The overall rhythm is punchy and uneven in a deliberate way, emphasizing cut-out silhouettes over smooth continuous outlines.
Best suited for short headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and signage where the stencil construction can read clearly. It works well for logo wordmarks and themed graphics that benefit from a rugged, industrial texture, and is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to the frequent breaks.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian tone—like painted marking stencils, crate labels, or equipment identifiers. Its rounded, chunky cuts soften the severity of classic stencil forms, creating a retro, workwear character that still feels tough and functional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic stencil signage with heavier, rounder geometry and confident, high-impact silhouettes. The consistent bridges and simplified structure prioritize strong reproduction and a recognizable cut-out aesthetic in display applications.
In text, the repeated breaks create a distinctive texture and strong brandable pattern, especially at display sizes. The numerals and capitals read as signage-forward shapes, with counters often defined by negative cutouts rather than continuous inner bowls, reinforcing the fabricated, stamped look.
