A compact, heavy, all-caps–leaning sans with strong rectangular construction and crisp, squared terminals. Letterforms are built from broad vertical and horizontal strokes with minimal modulation, punctuated by consistent stencil breaks that create clear bridges through bowls and counters. Curves are tightly squared-off and corners are often chamfered, producing a rugged, engineered rhythm. Lowercase follows the same blocky logic with simplified shapes and prominent cut-ins, while numerals are similarly constructed for blunt, high-contrast-at-a-distance figures.
Best suited for bold display settings such as posters, headers, short calls-to-action, and high-impact branding moments. It also fits physical-world applications like stenciled markings, product labels, crates, event wayfinding, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, industrial voice.
The overall tone reads tough and functional, with an industrial and tactical feel. The stencil interruptions add a manufactured, labeled-equipment character that suggests durability, warning signage, and no-nonsense communication.
The design appears intended to evoke stenciled lettering and equipment marking conventions while remaining typographically consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. It prioritizes strong silhouette, compact spacing, and recognizable cut-bridges to deliver an unmistakably industrial display presence.
Counters tend to be small and the internal breaks can visually close up at smaller sizes, favoring display use over extended reading. The texture becomes especially dense in paragraphs, where the repeated bridges create a distinctive striped cadence.
