A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and slightly rounded outer corners. Letterforms are constructed from broad, uniform strokes with minimal modulation, and many counters are opened by deliberate stencil breaks that create consistent bridges and notches. Curves (C, G, O, S) are squarish and softened at terminals, while diagonals (A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and engineered. The texture is dense and high-impact, with clear, repeating cut shapes that keep forms recognizable even in compact settings.
Best suited for display typography where impact and a fabricated stencil look are desired—headlines, posters, wayfinding, product labeling, packaging, and environmental graphics. The bold, segmented construction also works well for logos and wordmarks that need a durable, industrial impression.
The stencil interruptions and block-built shapes project an industrial, tactical tone—suggesting labeling, equipment marking, and engineered signage. It feels pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a rugged, workwear character that reads as modern and functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern stencil aesthetic with consistent, repeatable breaks that maintain legibility while emphasizing a manufactured, utilitarian voice.
The stencil bridges are integrated into the core geometry rather than applied as random cuts, which gives the alphabet a coherent, system-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same logic with strong segmentation and easy differentiation in display contexts.
