A sturdy slab‑serif stencil with broad proportions and solid, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms are built from geometric, sign-painter-like shapes with squared terminals and clear stencil breaks placed consistently across curves and joins. The overall rhythm is even and upright, with generous counters and a strong baseline presence; numerals and capitals carry a particularly bold, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited to display applications where the stencil detailing can be appreciated—posters, headlines, badges, and bold brand marks. It also works well for packaging, signage, and themed graphics that want an industrial or military-adjacent voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone—confident, procedural, and slightly retro. Its stencil interruptions add a tactical, equipment-marking feel that reads as rugged and utilitarian rather than delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to combine classic slab-serif authority with unmistakable stencil construction, producing a face that feels practical and label-ready while still being decorative enough for themed display typography.
Stencil bridges are prominent in round characters (C, O, Q, G) and in key joins on diagonals and bowls, creating a distinctive segmented texture in running text. The slab serifs and heavy verticals help maintain legibility at display sizes, while the broken strokes introduce visual noise that becomes more noticeable as sizes get smaller.
