A condensed, obliqued stencil sans with heavy, low-contrast strokes and crisp, mostly straight terminals. The forms are built from simplified geometry with squared-off curves and a strong forward slant, creating a fast, forceful rhythm. Stencil bridges are prominent and consistent, cutting through bowls and counters with clean vertical or slightly angled gaps that keep interior shapes open and readable. Spacing is compact and the overall texture is dark and uniform, especially in uppercase and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where the stencil breaks can be read as an intentional graphic motif: posters, bold headlines, brand marks, apparel graphics, packaging panels, and large-format signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a tough, industrial flavor is desired, but the strong stencil texture makes it less ideal for long passages of small text.
The font reads as utilitarian and rugged, with a distinctly industrial and tactical tone. Its sharp cuts and compressed stance suggest urgency and functionality, evoking painted markings, equipment labels, and mid-century display lettering. The oblique posture adds motion and aggression, making it feel energetic and attention-driven.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, high-impact stencil look that stays legible while projecting a utilitarian, marked-on-surface feel. The condensed proportions and consistent bridges point to an emphasis on bold presence and a repeatable, system-like aesthetic for branding and display applications.
Uppercase dominates visually, with tight widths and strong vertical stress that hold up well at larger sizes. The stencil interruptions are large enough to remain visible in bold settings, but they also create a patterned texture that becomes a key part of the voice. Numerals are stout and signage-like, matching the uppercase’s compressed, high-impact construction.
