A heavy, geometric sans with pronounced stencil breaks that carve the strokes into modular segments. Letterforms are built from straight-sided shapes with occasional rounded corners, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Counters tend to be compact, terminals are blunt, and many curves are simplified into squared-off arcs, giving the face a rigid, fabricated feel. Spacing reads fairly open for such a dark design, helping the broken strokes remain distinguishable in words and lines of text.
Well suited for posters, headlines, and branding where an industrial or tactical voice is desired. It can work effectively on packaging and labels, wayfinding and signage, and logo wordmarks—especially when used at medium-to-large sizes where the stencil breaks read clearly.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and hard-edged, evoking labeling, fabrication, and equipment marking. The consistent stencil bridges add a tactical, no-nonsense attitude, while the simplified geometry lends a subtly retro, industrial-modern character.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakable stencil aesthetic with a bold, geometric construction that feels manufactured and purposeful. Its segmented strokes are likely meant to reference cut-out lettering used in marking, shipping, and equipment contexts while remaining graphic and contemporary.
Distinctive split strokes appear across both capitals and lowercase, and the numerals follow the same segmented construction for a cohesive system. The design relies on strong silhouette recognition rather than interior detail, making it visually striking at display sizes and in high-contrast applications.
