A heavy, geometric display face built from blocky, near-monoline strokes and chamfered corners. Letterforms lean on straight verticals and crisp diagonals, with octagonal outer silhouettes and frequent internal breaks that create distinct bridges and negative slits. Curves are largely replaced by faceted cuts, producing a hard-edged rhythm and a compact, engineered texture. The lowercase follows the same architecture as the caps, reading as small-caps–like shapes with minimal stroke modulation and consistent segmentation.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product marks, packaging, and signage where the segmented stencil construction can be appreciated. It works especially well for industrial, sci‑fi, sports, or tactical-themed graphics, and for bold typographic statements where texture and silhouette carry the message.
The overall tone is utilitarian and forceful, evoking stenciled markings, machinery plates, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and deliberate gaps give it a tactical, engineered feel that reads as strict and commanding rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged stencil look with an engineered, faceted geometry—prioritizing strong silhouettes and a distinctive broken-stroke motif for impactful display typography.
The stencil interruptions are applied consistently across bowls and stems, creating recognizable internal “seams” that become a defining motif in words. Counters tend to be angular and relatively tight, so spacing and line length matter for clarity at smaller sizes.
