A condensed, all-caps-forward stencil serif with tall proportions, flat terminals, and crisp, rectangular counters. Stencil breaks are consistent and prominent, creating clear bridges through stems and bowls while keeping overall letterforms firmly structured. The shapes lean on strong verticals and slightly flared strokes in places, with a steady rhythm and compact spacing that reads efficiently at display sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, segmented construction for a uniform, systemized look.
Works best for headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and labels where bold, segmented forms can carry at a glance. It’s well suited to industrial branding, product markings, and title treatments that benefit from a rugged, manufactured impression.
The tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking shipping crates, equipment labeling, and military-style marking. Its hard edges and deliberate gaps give it a tactical, authoritative voice that feels functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakable stencil aesthetic with compact proportions and a disciplined, engineered structure, balancing rugged texture with clear readability for display and marking applications.
The stencil joins are placed to preserve recognizability, but the internal breaks become a key visual texture, especially in continuous text where the repeated gaps create a patterned cadence. Uppercase forms feel particularly strong and poster-ready, while lowercase keeps the same segmented logic for consistency.
