A heavy, block-constructed stencil with broad proportions and a compact, poster-like rhythm. Forms are built from simple geometric masses—near-circular bowls, squared counters, and straight-sided stems—with consistent stencil breaks that read as vertical or horizontal bridges through key joins and apertures. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, giving letters a cut, machined feel, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Z) are simplified into strong wedges and angular intersections. The lowercase follows the same modular logic with sturdy, simplified shapes and minimal calligraphic influence, keeping texture dense and uniform across lines.
Best suited to display typography where impact and character matter: posters, headlines, badges, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It also fits directional signage or industrial-themed graphics where stencil construction is an intentional stylistic cue.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, evoking labeling, equipment marking, and no-nonsense signage. The repeated stencil interruptions add a coded, engineered character that feels durable and purposeful rather than decorative.
Designed to capture a practical stencil-marking aesthetic in a contemporary, geometric way—prioritizing strong silhouettes, consistent bridges, and immediate readability for attention-grabbing display use.
Counters and apertures are kept relatively open for a stencil style, helping the letters hold together at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive broken-stroke signature. The numerals echo the same cut-through bridges, creating a cohesive set suited to prominent, high-contrast applications.
