A heavy, geometric display face with stencil-like breaks that carve triangular and curved voids into otherwise blocky forms. Many characters are built from straight-sided verticals paired with rounded bowls, producing a crisp, modular rhythm. Counters are often simplified into sharp wedges or split shapes, and joins feel engineered rather than calligraphic. The overall texture is dense and dark, with consistent bridge logic that keeps strokes visually connected while maintaining clear cutouts.
Best suited to large sizes where the stencil cutouts and angular counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, titles, branding marks, and signage. It can also work for short, punchy phrases on packaging or editorial display, but its strong internal segmentation makes it less appropriate for long reading passages at smaller sizes.
The font conveys a tough, industrial tone with a vintage-modern edge, evoking signage, machinery markings, and Deco-era geometry. Its segmented shapes feel confident and utilitarian, with a dramatic, poster-like presence that reads as bold and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a structured, geometric stencil construction, balancing solid mass with carefully placed breaks for a crafted, industrial character. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and a consistent system of bridges to create a distinctive, repeatable visual motif across the alphabet and figures.
Several letters rely on distinctive internal cut geometry—especially in rounded forms—creating recognizable silhouettes even at a distance. In text, the repeated stencil breaks form a patterned cadence, so line setting looks more like graphic composition than neutral typography.
