A heavy, slab-serif stencil with chunky proportions and pronounced bracketed serifs. The letterforms are built from broad strokes with moderate contrast and squared-off terminals, then interrupted by consistent stencil breaks that create strong, readable counters and visible bridges across bowls and joins. Curves are sturdy and slightly flattened, giving rounds like O, C, and G a compact, machined feel, while the numerals and capitals maintain a steady, sign-painter rhythm. Overall spacing reads generous and display-oriented, with a tight, authoritative silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display typography where the stencil personality can read clearly: headlines, posters, signage, badges, and bold brand marks. It also fits packaging and labels that want a crafted, industrial, or heritage-leaning presence, especially when set in short phrases or impactful lines.
The font conveys a rugged, utilitarian tone—part industrial marking, part old poster and storefront lettering. The stencil gaps add a functional, fabricated character, while the slab serifs bring a confident, traditional voice that feels bold and declarative.
The design appears intended to merge a classic slab-serif foundation with practical stencil construction, producing a strong, reproducible look that feels at home on painted, cut, or stamped applications while still working as a bold display face in print and digital layouts.
Stencil interruptions are applied in a way that keeps key shapes intact—especially in rounded letters and figures—so the design stays legible even at larger display sizes. Lowercase forms echo the same blocky construction as the caps, supporting consistent texture in mixed-case settings.
