A heavy, geometric stencil with monolinear strokes and compact, squared proportions. Letterforms are built from bold blocks with consistent stencil breaks that read as vertical and horizontal bridges, producing clear internal gaps in counters and joins. Curves are simplified into broad arcs (notably in C, G, O, Q, S) and terminals are largely flat, giving an engineered, cut-from-sheet look. Spacing and rhythm are assertive and even, optimized for large sizes where the breaks stay crisp and the silhouettes remain unmistakable.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, wayfinding, and product or equipment labeling. It performs especially well when you want large, high-contrast shapes that stay legible at a distance and reproduce reliably in print processes that benefit from stencil-like construction.
The overall tone is functional and hard-edged, evoking shipping crates, equipment labeling, and signage systems. Its stark cutouts add a vintage-industrial character while keeping the voice direct and no-nonsense.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a practical stencil structure, emphasizing durability, reproducibility, and bold presence. The consistent bridges suggest an intention to reference industrial marking traditions while maintaining clean, modern geometric letterforms.
The stencil interruptions are visually prominent and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a strong pattern of negative space within each glyph. The lowercase keeps the same blocky construction as the caps, reinforcing a uniform, poster-forward texture rather than a traditional text feel.
