A heavy, monoline sans with geometric construction and consistent stencil breaks that create clear bridges in bowls, counters, and cross-strokes. Letterforms are built from sturdy verticals and broad curves with a largely uniform stroke thickness; terminals are squared-off and the overall silhouette reads compact and punchy. The stencil logic is applied systematically across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing segmented forms (notably in round characters) and occasional notched joins that emphasize structure over smooth continuity.
Best suited to display applications where the stencil segmentation is a feature: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging panels, and signage or wayfinding. It can also work for short labels and UI headings when a rugged, industrial flavor is desired, while extended small-size body text may feel busy due to the frequent breaks.
The font communicates an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a tactical edge, evoking labeling systems, equipment marking, and functional signage. Its cut-in shapes and strong massing feel mechanical and assertive, lending a contemporary, urban grit rather than a friendly or delicate voice.
Designed to deliver a bold, highly recognizable stencil voice with clean geometric proportions and consistent bridges, prioritizing impact and reproducibility in marked or cut-out contexts. The systematic segmentation suggests an intention to echo industrial marking and functional typography while staying crisp and contemporary.
The stencil gaps are sized to remain visible at display sizes while preserving recognizable letter identities, giving the face a distinctive rhythm of interruptions across lines of text. Round letters maintain strong circular energy despite the breaks, and the numerals follow the same segmented logic for a cohesive set.
