A heavy, slanted stencil sans with broad, blocky letterforms and minimal contrast. Stencil breaks are consistently cut as horizontal or slightly angled gaps, creating strong bridges across bowls and terminals while keeping counters open and legible. The design leans geometric with squared-off curves and robust joins; round letters like C/O/Q show prominent midline breaks, and diagonals (A/K/N/V/W/X) read sharp and rigid. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing an assertive, marching rhythm in text, while the x-height sits in a balanced, workmanlike range for a display stencil.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and identity work that benefits from a tough stencil voice—such as industrial branding, event graphics, product packaging, or environmental/signage applications. It performs especially well when set large, where the bridges become a defining graphic element.
The tone is industrial and directive, evoking equipment labeling, shipping marks, and field-ready signage. Its forward slant adds motion and urgency, giving the face a functional, engineered feel rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended to translate the visual logic of stenciled marking into a bold, slanted display typeface with a consistent bridge system and a strong, utilitarian silhouette.
The stencil cuts are bold enough to remain visible at large sizes and create a distinctive texture across lines of text, especially where repeated midline breaks align in words. Numerals follow the same cut-and-bridge logic, with rounded figures emphasizing the central split for a cohesive, system-like look.
