A heavy, geometric sans with pronounced stencil breaks that create consistent bridges across bowls and counters. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with a mix of straight segments and rounded outer curves, giving letters a solid, machined feel. The shapes lean toward wide, block-like proportions with open apertures created by the cut-ins, and the lowercase follows the same constructed logic for a cohesive texture. Figures and capitals are especially strong and graphic, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited to display applications where the stencil texture can read clearly—posters, headlines, branding marks, product packaging, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It can also work for short callouts or labels in UI/graphics when a rugged, utilitarian voice is desired, but the bridges will be more legible at moderate-to-large sizes.
The bridged forms and bold geometry evoke industrial labeling, equipment markings, and utilitarian signage. The overall tone feels tough, functional, and slightly retro, with a disciplined, engineered character rather than a decorative or handwritten one.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, easily recognizable stencil look with geometric construction and consistent bridging, optimized for impactful titles and marking-style typography. It prioritizes bold presence and a systematic, engineered rhythm over subtlety or continuous text comfort.
Stencil joins are applied with a fairly uniform logic across curves and straight strokes, which helps maintain recognition while adding a distinctive pattern of notches. The rounded terminals and softened corners keep the face from feeling overly sharp, while the deep cuts add texture and separation at display sizes.
