Keywords: posters, headlines, signage, packaging, logos, industrial, stenciled, authoritative, mechanical, retro, stencil effect, high impact, industrial tone, graphic texture, monolinear, geometric, blocky, squared, high-impact.
A heavy, geometric sans with monolinear strokes and compact, block-like forms. Many glyphs feature narrow vertical cut-ins and split counters that create a clear stencil rhythm, with frequent flat terminals and squared shoulders softened by occasional rounded bowls. The overall drawing favors large internal masses, tight apertures, and sturdy diagonals, producing a dense texture in text while keeping letter shapes strongly distinguishable at display sizes. Numerals follow the same constructed, segmented logic, with bold, simplified silhouettes and deliberate interior breaks.
Best suited for display typography where its cut-in stencil texture can be seen clearly, such as posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging. It also works well for signage and industrial-themed graphics where a robust, constructed look is desirable; for long passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity.
The segmented construction and blunt geometry give a utilitarian, industrial voice that reads as firm and no-nonsense. Its stencil-like interruptions add a retro, manufactured feel—suggesting signage, labeling, and equipment markings—while the overall weight projects confidence and immediacy.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact, industrial stencil aesthetic within a clean sans framework, prioritizing bold presence and a distinctive segmented texture over neutral readability. The consistent internal breaks suggest an intention to evoke practical marking systems while remaining graphic and contemporary.
The recurring vertical notches and split counters create strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive pattern in repeated text. The most characteristic detail is the consistent use of internal breaks that mimic stencil bridges, which can add visual noise at small sizes but becomes a defining texture in headlines.
