A heavy, block-built sans with faceted outlines and frequent internal breaks that create a stencil-like construction. Strokes are generally monolinear and compact, with squared terminals, abrupt corners, and small wedge cuts that give many letters a carved, segmented silhouette. Counters are tight and often partially interrupted by vertical slits or notches, producing strong black mass and a distinctly modular rhythm. The lowercase follows the same cut-and-slab logic as the capitals, with simplified bowls and angular joins; figures are similarly chunky and segmented for consistent texture.
Best suited to display sizes where its notches and internal cuts remain clear—posters, titles, logos, packaging, and bold signage. It can add a rugged, manufactured character to branding systems and short phrases, but is less appropriate for long-form text or small UI labels due to its dense, segmented construction.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian mood—tough, mechanical, and deliberately raw. Its fractured shapes and dense color feel assertive and attention-grabbing, suggesting signage, stamped marking, or hard-edged display typography rather than refinement.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact through solid black shapes and a distinctive cut, stencil-inspired voice. The consistent faceting and interruptions appear intended to create a branded, industrial texture that stays recognizable across letters and numbers.
The stencil breaks are integrated as stylistic features rather than purely functional gaps, creating distinctive interior negative-space patterns. The overall texture is highly graphic, and the dark color can close up in smaller settings, so it reads best when given room and contrast.
