A heavy, geometric display face built from broad, solid strokes interrupted by consistent stencil breaks. Forms are mostly rectilinear with occasional rounded bowls, producing a strong pattern of vertical mass and sharp interior cutouts. The stencil bridges are clean and deliberate, often creating triangular or rectangular notches that keep counters open while maintaining a tight, blocklike silhouette. Spacing and shapes are optimized for impact at larger sizes, where the cut-ins read as a defining texture across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-scale typographic treatments where the stencil interruptions can be clearly seen. It works well for signage-style applications, branding marks, and packaging that needs an industrial or military-adjacent voice. In longer text or small sizes, the dense weight and frequent breaks are likely to become visually busy, so it’s most effective as a display face.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a disciplined, engineered look that suggests signage, equipment labeling, and bold poster typography. The crisp breaks add a tactical, institutional edge while also giving it a distinctive retro display flavor. It communicates strength and directness more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while preserving the practical, segmented construction associated with stenciled lettering. Its consistent bridge system and simplified geometry suggest a focus on reproducibility, bold texture, and strong recognition in display contexts.
Round letters such as O and Q show centered splits and bold interior voids, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) use angled cutaways that emphasize motion and sharpness. Numerals follow the same bridge logic, keeping the set visually unified and highly graphic in headlines.
