A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and a monoline feel, built from broad strokes and simple, engineered shapes. Distinct stencil breaks appear consistently across bowls and counters, creating clear bridges and pronounced cutouts in letters like C, G, O, Q, S, and the figures. Curves are smooth but simplified, terminals tend to be flat, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and sharply defined, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and product or packaging graphics where a tough stencil character is desired. It also fits signage, labels, and theme-driven identity work that benefits from an industrial or tactical tone, especially at medium to large sizes where the stencil cuts remain clear.
The stencil interruptions and block construction give the face a utilitarian, industrial voice that reads as durable and no-nonsense. It suggests labeling, equipment markings, and functional signage rather than refinement, with a contemporary, fabricated edge.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward geometric sans structure with unmistakable stencil construction, prioritizing instant recognition and a manufactured, cut-metal aesthetic. The consistent bridges and simplified forms point to a focus on impactful display typography for branded or environmental applications.
The stencil bridges are sized to remain visible at display sizes and create a repeating vertical rhythm through rounded forms. Numerals and capitals carry particularly strong, iconic silhouettes, while lowercase maintains the same cutout logic for a cohesive system.
