A heavy, geometric sans with pronounced stencil breaks that cut through both straight and curved strokes, creating consistent bridges and strong negative shapes. Terminals are mostly squared-off with tight apertures and compact counters, giving the letters a dense, engineered feel. Circular forms (like O, C, G, Q and the numerals) read as robust rounds interrupted by centered crossbars, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X and Y stay sharp and structural. Spacing and widths vary by glyph in a way that preserves a solid rhythm in text, with numerals matching the uppercase for visual weight and presence.
Well-suited to bold headlines, posters, and packaging where a stenciled, industrial identity is desired. It also fits wayfinding, warnings, and equipment-style labeling, especially in contexts that benefit from a marked, utilitarian texture.
The font conveys an industrial, utilitarian tone associated with stenciled marking systems and hard-surface labeling. Its cut-in bridges and heavy mass feel functional and authoritative, suggesting durability and mechanical precision rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to emulate practical stencil lettering while keeping a contemporary, geometric sans structure for strong legibility and consistent repetition of bridges. It aims to deliver high-impact display typography with a technical, workwear character.
In longer lines, the repeated mid-stroke breaks become a defining texture, producing a distinct striped cadence across words. The design prioritizes impact and recognizability at display sizes, with stencil gaps that remain visually clear and systematic across the set.
