A heavy, block-first sans with rounded-rectangle counters and broad, geometric proportions. Many letters are interrupted by consistent stencil-like cutouts, creating vertical splits and notches that read as intentional bridges rather than decorative serifs. Curves are built from superellipse-style bowls with tight internal apertures, while straights are thick and planar; joins and terminals feel blunt, with slight roughness along edges that suggests an inked or distressed imprint. The overall rhythm is compact and emphatic, with simplified forms and strong silhouette legibility at display sizes.
Best suited to short, bold messaging such as posters, headlines, signage, and product labels where the stencil interruptions can read clearly. It also works well for branding in industrial, tactical, or workwear contexts and for large-format wayfinding or marked-up graphics that benefit from a stamped/painted feel.
The stencil breaks and chunky geometry give the face a functional, industrial tone associated with marking, packaging, and equipment labeling. Its texture and interruptions add a rugged, no-nonsense character that feels directive and authoritative rather than elegant or friendly.
The design appears intended to combine a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with practical stencil segmentation, producing a sturdy display sans that looks like it could be sprayed, stamped, or cut for real-world marking. The slight edge irregularity reinforces a printed or applied aesthetic while keeping the core letterforms simple and direct.
The stencil bridges are prominent in rounded letters (like O, C, G, Q) and in multi-stem forms, producing a distinctive patterning across text lines. Numerals match the same cut-and-bridge logic, keeping the set visually cohesive; small sizes may lose the interior splits as counters close up, while larger sizes showcase the intended cutout detail.
