A heavy, right-leaning display face with blocky, wedge-cut forms and prominent internal breaks that read like stencil bridges. Strokes are thick with sharp, tapered terminals and angled joins, producing a chiseled silhouette. Counters are often partially closed or split, creating strong figure/ground tension, while the overall rhythm stays compact and punchy across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The texture is intentionally uneven, suggesting worn printing or cut material rather than smooth digital outlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging labels, and signage where the cut-in texture can read clearly. It also works well for branding in industrial, tactical, or retro-themed contexts and for dramatic title treatments on album covers or editorial openers.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian attitude—part propaganda poster, part workshop stencil—with an assertive, attention-grabbing presence. Its roughened construction adds a sense of age, grit, and physicality, making the tone feel bold, streetwise, and a little confrontational.
Likely designed to emulate bold stencil lettering with a worn, printed texture, combining strong massing with purposeful gaps to create a rugged, utilitarian display voice that feels physical and handcrafted.
The stencil-like interruptions are a defining feature and can become visually dominant at smaller sizes, where the interior cuts may start to merge. The italic slant and sharp, notched details increase motion and urgency, especially in all-caps settings.
