A heavy slab-serif stencil with crisp, triangular cut-ins that create strong bridges across bowls and stems. The forms are compact and blocky, with squared terminals, sturdy vertical stress, and slightly softened corners where strokes meet. Counters are relatively tight and the stencil breaks appear as consistent wedges and notches, giving the glyphs a machined, cut-out feel. Numerals and capitals carry a uniform, sign-paint-like rhythm, while lowercase keeps the same robust, constructed logic for cohesive text color at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding that wants an industrial or military stencil cue. It also works for signage, labels, packaging, and title treatments where bold, cut-out letterforms are an asset and the stencil texture is meant to be seen.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, evoking shipping marks, equipment labeling, and wartime or aviation graphics. Its bold presence and deliberate interruptions read as tough, functional, and a bit retro, with a poster-ready confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic stencil look with the authority of slab serifs, balancing strong readability with unmistakable bridges and cut-ins. Its consistent, engineered breaks suggest a focus on reproducible marking and impactful display typography.
Stencil gaps are large enough to remain visible in dense words, helping preserve the stencil identity even in longer lines. The strong slab serifs and deep notches add distinctive texture, so the face tends to dominate a layout and benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing when set in paragraphs.
