A rounded, broken-stroke stencil with chunky, softly contoured terminals and consistent, low-contrast strokes. The letters are built from simple geometric masses with frequent gaps that act as stencil bridges, producing a steady, segmented rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters tend to be open and simplified, with curved forms (C, G, O, S) reading as thick arcs interrupted by small breaks, while straight-sided glyphs rely on blocky verticals and short crossbars. Overall spacing feels generous and the silhouettes remain clear at display sizes despite the deliberate interruptions.
Best suited for short, impactful settings such as posters, product packaging, event graphics, and bold signage where the stencil breaks read as intentional design. It also works well for branding accents and merchandise graphics that want a marked, industrial feel.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian tone with clear associations to labeling, stenciled marking, and equipment signage. Its rounded corners soften the usual hardness of stencil lettering, giving it a slightly retro, handcrafted grit rather than a purely mechanical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakable stencil identity with softened geometry—combining the practical language of cut-out lettering with a friendlier, rounded finish for strong display readability and characterful texture.
In text, the recurring gaps create a pronounced texture that becomes part of the voice—highly distinctive in headlines, but visually busy for long passages. The numeral set follows the same interrupted, rounded construction, keeping a cohesive, stamped/marked character across alphanumerics.
