A heavy, block-driven sans with a segmented, stencil-like construction. Strokes are uniform and geometric, with broad verticals and tight interior counters that often read as partial cutouts rather than fully open shapes. Many glyphs feature deliberate breaks, notches, and diagonal slashes, producing a hard-edged rhythm and a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Curves are squared off and flattened, and apertures are generally narrow, giving the face a compact, engineered feel.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where the segmented stencil character is a feature rather than a distraction. It can work well for signage, packaging, labels, and sports/industrial-themed graphics, especially at display sizes and with generous spacing.
The font conveys an industrial, tactical tone—assertive and no-nonsense—with a slightly retro signage flavor. Its cut-and-slot detailing suggests machinery, labeling, and rugged utility more than refinement or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense black shapes while using strategic breaks and slashes to introduce texture and a functional, stencil-inspired identity. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and graphic punch for display typography.
The stencil segmentation is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive system of breaks and internal divisions. Because the cutouts reduce internal clarity, the design favors larger sizes where the distinctive negative shapes remain legible and intentional.
