A heavy, block-based slab serif with square proportions, broad stems, and firm, rectangular serifs. The letterforms are punctuated by consistent stencil-like interruptions: narrow vertical and horizontal gaps that slice through stems, bowls, and crossbars, producing a cut-out, segmented construction. Curves are robust and geometric, with large counters in letters like O and Q, while the overall rhythm stays compact and emphatic. The lowercase follows the same chunky structure, with simplified forms and occasional single-story shapes, and the numerals are equally bold and squared, keeping the set visually uniform.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and signage where the stencil detailing can read clearly. It can also work for logos and badges that want a bold, workwear/industrial flavor, and for short labels or callouts where texture is an asset.
The repeated cutouts give the face a utilitarian, stamped or spray-stenciled feel that reads as tough, practical, and attention-grabbing. It evokes industrial marking, crate labeling, and old poster lettering, with a subtle vintage-western undertone from the slab structure and confident silhouettes.
The design appears intended to combine a classic slab-serif backbone with a stencil treatment, delivering a strong, printable-looking voice that feels engineered for marked surfaces and high-impact display typography rather than quiet text reading.
The internal breaks create distinctive texture in lines of text, especially at larger sizes, where the segmented detailing becomes a primary graphic feature. In longer settings the pattern can visually dominate, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence legibility and tone.
