A heavy, slab-serif display face with pronounced stencil cutouts that create consistent bridges through bowls, counters, and key joins. The letterforms are compact and blocky with broad, squared terminals and minimal stroke modulation, producing dense texture and strong silhouette readability. Curves are rounded but remain sturdy, while serifs are thick and supportive, giving the set a grounded, poster-ready presence. Figures follow the same cutout logic, with clear internal breaks that echo the caps’ rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong, industrial voice is needed and the stencil construction can be showcased. It can also work for bold wordmarks and event branding when used at medium-to-large sizes to preserve the clarity of the internal breaks.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, with a rugged, workmanlike personality reminiscent of shipping marks, equipment labeling, and stamped signage. Its bold mass and deliberate interruptions add a sense of toughness and utility while still reading as graphic and theatrical in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic stencil construction, combining slab-serif solidity with repeatable cutout bridges for practical, label-like character. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent internal rhythm, aiming for bold branding and display communication with an industrial edge.
The stencil bridges are a defining feature across both upper- and lowercase, creating a distinctive pattern of vertical and horizontal interruptions that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. Spacing appears designed for chunky display lines, where the repeated cutouts form a cohesive, patterned texture.
