A heavy, slanted stencil sans with compact, blocky forms and crisp, squared terminals. Stencil breaks are consistently placed as rectangular bridges that slice through bowls and stems, creating strong negative cutouts in letters like O, Q, and e while keeping counters relatively open. The geometry leans toward straight strokes and simplified curves, giving the face a rigid, engineered feel; diagonals are prominent in A, K, V, W, and X, and the overall rhythm is punchy with tight internal spacing. Numerals follow the same cut-bridge logic, with segmented shapes and flat tops/bases that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where the stencil construction can be read as a deliberate design feature. It also fits packaging, labels, and wayfinding or warning-style signage where a stamped/marked aesthetic is desirable and strong silhouette recognition matters.
The overall tone is industrial and directive—like stenciled labeling on equipment, crates, or signage. The forward slant adds urgency and motion, while the strong stencil cuts convey a functional, no-nonsense attitude with a hint of retro-military character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold stenciled look with clear, repeatable bridges and a dynamic slant, emphasizing durability and legibility in a marked-on, industrial context.
At larger sizes the stencil bridges become a defining graphic motif, producing a rugged texture across words. In dense paragraphs the repeated cutouts create a lively pattern, so it tends to feel more like a display face than a quiet text workhorse.
