A heavy, geometric sans with clear stencil interruptions placed consistently through verticals and bowls, creating strong internal bridges and rectangular gaps. Strokes are largely monolinear with crisp, squared terminals and minimal curvature, giving the letterforms a machined, modular feel. Counters tend to be compact and the overall rhythm is blocky and assertive, with wide, stable caps and straightforward lowercase construction that maintains the same cut-and-bridged logic. Numerals follow the same system, with prominent breaks that preserve readability while emphasizing the stencil structure.
Best suited to headlines and display work where the stencil construction is a feature: posters, product packaging, wayfinding, labels, and branding that aims for an industrial or technical voice. It can also work for short blocks of text when a strong, graphic texture is desired, though the repeated stencil gaps will remain a dominant stylistic cue.
The font communicates an industrial, utilitarian tone—like labeling, equipment markings, and pragmatic signage. Its stark cuts and solid massing feel technical and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro-military or warehouse flavor that reads as tough and functional.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust stencil aesthetic with a clean, geometric backbone, balancing legibility with a deliberately broken stroke structure. Its consistent bridging suggests it was built for impactful reproduction where a stamped or cut-out look supports the message.
Stencil breaks are substantial enough to be unmistakable at display sizes, and the bold silhouette keeps forms legible even with the removed segments. The visual system is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, engineered texture in running text.
