A heavy, slab-serif display face with clearly segmented strokes that create consistent stencil bridges across verticals and curves. The forms lean on broad, straight stems and flattened terminals, with occasional wedge-like joins and slightly irregular, hand-cut geometry that gives the outlines a subtly roughened rhythm. Counters are compact and sturdy, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are built from firm arcs interrupted by cut-ins, keeping the texture tight and assertive. Numerals and capitals appear especially blocky and signage-oriented, with an overall emphasis on strong silhouettes over fine detail.
Well-suited to headline and display settings where a strong stencil texture is desirable: posters, event graphics, product labels, packaging, and signage. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want an industrial or military-marking feel, especially at medium to large sizes where the bridges stay crisp and intentional.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian tone—suggesting painted markings, cut stencils, and hard-wearing labels. Its deliberate breaks and chunky slabs add a rugged, no-nonsense character that reads as authoritative and practical, with a hint of vintage poster energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, stencil-cut look with a robust slab-serif backbone, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and a repeatable, manufactured texture. Its construction cues point to practical marking aesthetics—built for attention and instant recognition rather than quiet readability in extended copy.
The stencil gaps are visually prominent and fairly uniform, producing a patterned cadence across lines of text. In longer samples, the repeated bridges create a distinctive texture that can dominate the page, making it best treated as a graphic element rather than a neutral text face.
