A hard-edged, geometric sans with distinct stencil breaks and chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and many curves are rendered as straight segments, giving round letters a faceted look. Counters tend to be compact, apertures are relatively tight, and spacing feels sturdy and deliberate, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals share the same engineered, segmented construction, with clear bridge placements that remain legible at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where the stencil structure and faceted geometry can read clearly—posters, headlines, logotypes, product packaging, and signage with an industrial or tactical theme. It can also work for short labels and UI headers when a rugged, engineered voice is desired, but long body copy may feel heavy due to the dense texture.
The overall tone is industrial and functional, evoking stamped parts, military marking systems, and equipment labels. Its sharp terminals and segmented joins feel mechanical and no-nonsense, projecting strength and durability rather than warmth or elegance.
Designed to deliver a robust stencil aesthetic with a geometric, machined finish—prioritizing strong silhouettes, clear bridge logic, and a cohesive industrial texture across letters and numerals.
The stencil joints are prominent enough to read as an intentional motif rather than incidental gaps, and the angular construction keeps forms cohesive across upper- and lowercase. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense texture may reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the faceting and breaks become a defining graphic feature.
