A heavy, geometric sans with stencil-style breaks that create consistent vertical and horizontal bridges through bowls and joins. The letterforms are built from broad, monoline strokes with crisp, straight terminals and occasional sharp diagonal cuts, producing a strongly modular silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and circular or near-circular where applicable, with the stencil gaps forming a repeating internal rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Overall spacing reads firm and poster-like, with sturdy verticals and simplified constructions that prioritize bold shape over fine detail.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, posters, and bold branding where the stencil rhythm is a feature rather than a distraction. It also fits packaging, wayfinding, and label-style applications that benefit from an industrial or tactical aesthetic. In longer passages it remains readable but retains a strong graphic texture, making it most effective for display-led typography.
The font conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone—functional, technical, and slightly militaristic. Its repeated stencil interruptions add a coded, engineered feel that suggests labeling, equipment marking, and rugged manufacturing contexts. The overall impression is assertive and graphic, with a purposeful, constructed personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust stencil voice with a consistent, systematized set of breaks that read as functional bridges while also acting as a strong visual signature. It prioritizes clarity at display sizes and a repeatable modular language across the full alphanumeric set.
Diagonal letters (like A, V, W, X, Y, Z) emphasize sharp wedges and cut-ins, while rounded forms (C, O, Q, G) rely on circular massing interrupted by a central bridge, creating a distinctive target-like motif in places. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s system closely, reinforcing a uniform, signage-oriented texture in continuous text.
