A heavy, slanted sans with broad, geometric forms and clean, low-contrast strokes. The defining feature is a consistent set of stencil-like breaks that create narrow bridges through bowls and joins, producing distinctive notches across letters and numerals. Counters are relatively open for the weight, terminals are mostly straight and squared, and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy with sturdy diagonals and simplified curves.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, apparel graphics, and bold signage where the stencil cuts can read as intentional texture. It also works well for themed packaging, event titles, and display typography that benefits from an industrial or tactical voice.
The repeated cut-ins and forward slant give the face a mechanical, engineered feel with a sense of speed and urgency. It reads as assertive and utilitarian—closer to equipment labeling and tactical graphics than to refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to merge a strong, athletic italic sans structure with a clear stencil motif, creating a display face that feels engineered and energetic. The consistent bridging suggests practical stencil inspiration translated into a graphic, modern headline style.
In the sample text, the stencil interruptions remain prominent even at larger sizes, becoming a primary texture rather than a subtle detail. Round letters like O/Q and numerals show the breaks most clearly, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the energetic, forward-leaning stance. The heavy weight and distinctive gaps can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where bridges align closely with joins.
