A sturdy slab-serif design built from broad, flat strokes and crisp right-angle terminals, with minimal contrast and a generally squared, engineered feel. Distinct stencil-like cutouts appear throughout the alphabet, creating consistent bridges in bowls and joins (notably in round forms and counters) while preserving clear letter identities. Uppercase forms are compact and structured, lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm with sturdy stems and simple bowls, and figures follow the same cutout logic for a cohesive typographic color.
Best suited to display sizes where the stencil bridges and slab geometry read clearly—headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging with an industrial or technical theme. It can also work for signage-style applications and short labels where a stamped or fabricated look is desirable.
The overall tone is industrial and authoritative, evoking stamped signage, machinery labels, and utilitarian print. The repeated breaks add a technical, fabricated character that reads as functional rather than decorative, with a slightly retro, workshop flavor.
The design appears intended to combine classic slab-serif sturdiness with a deliberately manufactured stencil construction, delivering high impact and a practical, industrial voice. The consistent cutouts suggest a focus on reproducibility and a “marked/painted” aesthetic while keeping letterforms recognizable and bold in texture.
Round letters such as O, Q, G, and e show prominent internal separations that emphasize the stencil construction, and several diagonals (V, W, X, Z, 4, 7) use sharp joins that reinforce a hard-edged, engineered aesthetic. The cutout placement is consistent enough to feel systematic, helping the face maintain legibility despite the interruptions.
