A heavy, geometric stencil with broad proportions and compact counters. The letterforms are built from straight cuts and large arcs, with frequent vertical splits and small bridge joints that carve the shapes into bold segments. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, and the rhythm is driven by strong verticals and clean, high-contrast negative gaps created by the stencil breaks rather than by stroke modulation. Lowercase follows the same modular construction, with simplified bowls and a sturdy, monoline feel that keeps texture dense in setting.
Best suited to large-size applications where the stencil breaks can be appreciated: posters, bold headlines, brand marks, and packaging. It also fits signage and wayfinding-inspired graphics, especially when a rugged, industrial texture is desired over smooth readability in long text.
The overall tone is industrial and commanding, evoking utilitarian signage and machinery markings while also reading as distinctly graphic and poster-ready. Its sharp stencil interruptions add a sense of engineered precision, giving it a regimented, no-nonsense voice with a subtle retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a consistent stencil logic, combining simplified geometric forms with deliberate internal bridges for a rugged, manufactured look. Its construction prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a repeatable, system-like pattern across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The stencil gaps are consistent and prominent, creating recognizable internal “slices” through many glyphs (notably rounded forms and diagonals) that become a defining pattern in words. Numerals match the same segmented construction, producing a cohesive, high-impact line of figures.
