A heavy, cut-out stencil sans with chunky strokes and frequent internal breaks that create enclosed counters and segmented bowls. Shapes are simplified and geometric at the core, but edges are intentionally uneven, with slight waviness and asymmetrical notches that give the outlines a hand-cut look. Curves (C, O, S) are broadly rounded yet interrupted by vertical or angled gaps, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I) stay blocky and compact. Spacing and widths vary by letter, producing an energetic, slightly unpredictable rhythm in words and headlines.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, display headlines, storefront-style signage, packaging labels, and merchandise graphics. It also fits themed applications that reference stenciling, hand-painted marks, or industrial materials. For longer passages, the frequent breaks and irregular contours are likely to be visually tiring, so it’s better used as an accent or display face.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and industrial, like sprayed or painted lettering through a stencil, but with a quirky, handmade twist. The irregular cuts add personality and a hint of mischief, keeping it from feeling purely functional. It reads as bold and attention-seeking, suited to designs that want grit without becoming overly aggressive.
The design appears intended to evoke stencil construction while preserving a lively, handmade texture. By combining simplified sans geometry with deliberate cut marks and uneven contours, it aims for strong presence and instant thematic signaling in display settings.
The stencil breaks are a dominant identifying feature across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping unify the set. Numerals share the same cut-out logic (notably in 0, 6, 8, and 9), reinforcing the rugged, fabricated character. At smaller sizes the internal gaps and rough edges may visually fill in, so it benefits from generous sizing and contrast against the background.
