A heavy, block-based display face built from squarish, octagonal forms with chamfered corners and frequent internal cut-ins. Strokes are broad and uniform with clear stencil breaks that create small bridges and negative counters, producing a segmented, engineered texture. Proportions read wide and compact, with a tall lowercase presence and sturdy caps; curves are minimized in favor of straight runs and clipped diagonals. Overall spacing and rhythm feel dense and punchy, emphasizing silhouette over fine detail.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, titles, signage, packaging, and product labels where strong silhouettes and an industrial stencil feel are desirable. It works particularly well at larger sizes where the bridges and internal cuts remain clear and intentional.
The font conveys an industrial, utilitarian tone—confident, tough, and slightly militaristic. Its stencil interruptions and squared geometry suggest equipment labeling, shipping marks, or rugged branding, with a retro poster energy that feels bold and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a functional stencil aesthetic—prioritizing bold shapes, consistent bridges, and a machined, geometric construction for branding and titling applications.
The stencil joins are consistently integrated across both uppercase and lowercase, giving long text a patterned, cut-out cadence. Numerals and lowercase forms keep the same angular logic, supporting cohesive headlines and short blocks where the segmented shapes become part of the visual identity.
