A heavy, block-built slab serif with squared contours and broad proportions. Strokes are thick and confident, with flat terminals and prominent rectangular serifs that create a strong horizontal rhythm. A defining feature is a consistent midline cut/notch running through many glyphs, producing a stencil-like band and small squared counters that read as deliberate mechanical apertures. Curves (C, G, O, S) are broadly rounded but remain sturdy and geometric, while joins and inside corners show purposeful cut-ins that add crispness and help prevent dark spots at weight.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and signage where its chunky slabs and signature midline cuts can be seen clearly. It can also work for short subheads or callouts that need a rugged, industrial accent, especially on high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, with a stamped or engineered feel. The midline interruptions add a rugged, tool-made character that can read as vintage workwear, military/warehouse labeling, or bold editorial attitude. It projects confidence and impact more than refinement.
The font appears designed to merge a classic slab-serif foundation with a systematic stencil-like interruption, creating a bold, functional look that feels manufactured and repeatable. The goal seems to be strong presence and instant recognizability through consistent geometric cuts and sturdy proportions.
The design favors strong silhouettes and clear horizontal structure, which keeps words visually stable at display sizes. The recurring mid-stroke breaks can reduce legibility at very small sizes, but they also create a distinctive texture and a recognizable voice in headlines.
