A heavy, slab-serif stencil with broad, squared forms and generously rounded corners. The strokes are consistently thick, with deliberate breaks that create sturdy stencil bridges through counters and joins. Curves are compact and slightly squarish, giving letters a machined, cut-out feel; terminals tend to be blunt, and interior notches read like practical openings rather than decorative detailing. Lowercase shares much of the same blocky construction, producing a tight, rhythmic texture and strong word-shape in display sizes.
Best suited for posters, bold headlines, and large-format signage where the stencil breaks become a defining graphic feature. It also works well for packaging, labels, and branding systems aiming for an industrial or military-inspired voice, especially where high-contrast, high-impact typography is needed.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking painted-on markings, shipping crates, and equipment labels. Its bold, interrupted silhouettes communicate strength and a no-nonsense attitude, with a vintage-industrial edge that feels both authoritative and hands-on.
This design appears intended to emulate practical stencil lettering used for marking and identification, while refining it into a cohesive, contemporary display face. The consistent bridges and rounded, slab-like structure suggest a focus on durability, reproducibility, and strong presence in short text.
The stencil gaps are prominent enough to remain legible in larger settings, and the rounded treatment softens the hardness of the geometry without losing impact. Numerals match the same cut-out logic, maintaining a consistent, rugged color across mixed text.
