A heavy, blocky stencil with broad proportions and squared-off geometry. Strokes are broken by frequent bridges and notches, producing clear internal cutouts and a segmented silhouette across rounds and straights alike. Edges appear slightly rough and irregular, lending a worn, spray-painted impression rather than a perfectly machined finish. Counters are generally open and simplified, with compact interior shapes and a strong, poster-like color on the page.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and signage where a rugged stencil voice is desired. It also fits entertainment and lifestyle graphics—album art, event promos, and merchandise—where texture and attitude matter more than quiet readability.
The font conveys an industrial, tactical tone—assertive, gritty, and functional. Its broken strokes and rugged texture suggest equipment labeling, shipping marks, and street-level graphics, giving it a raw, no-nonsense attitude that reads as tough and pragmatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful stencil look that stays cohesive across the alphabet while adding a slightly weathered edge. Its wide, chunky forms prioritize presence and legibility at display sizes, with bridges and notches supplying the signature industrial character.
In text, the many bridges create a busy rhythm that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes, while the wide stance helps keep word shapes stable and impactful. Round letters show deliberate cut-ins that echo the same stencil logic used on straight-sided forms, keeping the system visually consistent.
