A heavy, block-based sans with rounded corners and compact internal counters. Many glyphs show deliberate stencil breaks and rough, worn-looking edges that create small gaps and chiseled notches through strokes and bowls. Curves are broad and simplified, while verticals and horizontals read as stout slabs; overall spacing feels sturdy and poster-like with noticeable shape-to-shape variation that adds a handmade rhythm. Numerals and capitals are especially robust, with simplified geometry and strong silhouettes that remain legible despite the cutouts.
Works best for short display settings such as posters, headlines, product labels, packaging callouts, and signage where a stenciled, worn effect is desirable. It can also suit branding elements that aim for an industrial or rugged feel, especially at larger sizes where the internal breaks and rough edges reproduce clearly.
The font projects an industrial, workmanlike tone—part stencil, part weathered signage. Its distressed interruptions and inky texture suggest utility marking, shipping crates, or painted lettering that’s been scraped and re-stamped over time. The overall impression is loud, tough, and practical rather than refined.
The design appears intended to emulate stenciled, repeatedly applied lettering with intentional breaks and a weathered finish. Its simplified, chunky forms prioritize strong silhouettes and instant impact while adding character through texture and cutouts.
Stencil gaps appear inconsistently placed across letters, producing a lively, imperfect texture that becomes more apparent in longer text. The rounded terminals keep the shapes from feeling sharp, while the heavy weight and broken counters push it toward display use where the texture can be appreciated.
