A very heavy, slanted sans with rounded, soft-cornered forms and distinctive internal cut-outs that read as stencil breaks. Strokes are broadly consistent in thickness, with minimal contrast and a slightly “inked” edge quality that makes shapes feel worn rather than geometric. Counters are compact and often interrupted (notably in O/Q/0 and several lowercase forms), producing a bold, cut-paper silhouette. Proportions are lively and irregular in a controlled way, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that keep the texture dense in words.
Best suited to display typography where the stencil breaks and dense black shapes can be appreciated—posters, headlines, labels, and bold logo/wordmark treatments. It also fits apparel, team or event graphics, and any design that benefits from a tough, marked-up industrial texture. For longer reading, the interrupted counters and tight apertures are more impactful than comfortable.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, with a rugged, stamped feel that suggests equipment marking, crate lettering, or sport/club graphics. The angled stance and chunky mass add energy and urgency, while the stencil-like breaks introduce a tactical, workwear vibe. It feels assertive and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to combine a stout, modern sans foundation with deliberate stencil interruptions, creating a bold identification style that reads as stamped or cut-out lettering. Its forward slant and compact counters aim to deliver punchy emphasis and visual motion in short phrases and titles.
At text sizes the frequent interior breaks create a strong, rhythmic pattern that can become the dominant visual feature, especially in rounded letters and numerals. The italics-like slant is consistent across the set, giving lines a forward motion that works well in short bursts and display settings.
