A heavy, block-based sans with geometric construction and squared proportions. The letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes and simplified curves, with consistent stencil cut-ins that split bowls and counters into clear, repeatable segments. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, producing a dense, poster-like texture, while counters remain relatively open for a stencil style. Uppercase and numerals read especially solid and modular; lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy stance with minimal modulation and compact joins.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouettes and stencil detailing can be appreciated—posters, bold headings, wayfinding-style signage, product packaging, and apparel graphics. It can also work for labels and short callouts where a rugged, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking shipping marks, equipment labels, and field signage. Its cutout breaks add a manufactured, tactical flavor that feels direct and authoritative rather than refined or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a standardized stencil system, balancing sturdy readability with a distinctive cutout signature. It prioritizes clear, repeatable shapes that feel suited to marking, labeling, and graphic statements.
The stencil bridges are prominent and rhythmically consistent across curved letters (C, G, O, Q, S) and straight-sided forms, creating a distinctive midline interruption that becomes a key part of the texture in longer text. At smaller sizes the breaks may become the dominant detail, while at display sizes they read as intentional engineering cues.
