A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and strongly simplified forms. Strokes are monolinear and squared-off, with crisp terminals and a largely modular construction that keeps counters wide and shapes robust. Distinct stencil breaks appear consistently across many glyphs—often as narrow vertical or crossbar gaps—creating clear bridges while preserving letter recognition. The overall rhythm is tight and uniform, with a strong baseline presence and large, solid interior masses.
Works best in display contexts such as posters, bold headlines, branding lockups, packaging, labels, and wayfinding where the stencil character can read clearly. It’s also well suited to themed designs that reference industrial marking, military-style stenciling, or workshop/garage aesthetics.
The stencil interruptions and blunt geometry give the face an industrial, equipment-label feel with a slightly retro, institutional edge. Its tone reads forceful and utilitarian, suited to messaging that needs to feel durable, direct, and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a functional stencil structure, balancing legibility with a distinctive bridged motif. It prioritizes strong silhouette, repeatable geometric parts, and a rugged, cut-out presence for attention-grabbing display use.
The stencil gaps become a prominent graphic feature at larger sizes, adding texture and a cut-out look; at smaller sizes those breaks may visually close up or compete with counters. Numerals follow the same bridged logic, reinforcing a consistent system across letters and figures.
