A heavy, block-built sans with squared curves and a compact, engineered skeleton. The letterforms are cut by consistent stencil breaks that create bridges through bowls and counters, producing strong internal rhythm and clear segmentation. Terminals are blunt and mostly orthogonal, with occasional diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y. Counters tend to be tight and rectangular, emphasizing a dense, high-impact texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to large display settings where the stencil pattern can be read clearly: posters, headlines, branding marks, product packaging, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It also works well for short, punchy labels or UI section headers that need a strong, technical tone.
The repeated stencil cuts and chunky construction give the face a utilitarian, industrial voice with a tactical edge. It reads as functional and hard-wearing—more like equipment labeling and signage than editorial typography—projecting firmness and control.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, modular stencil system that suggests fabrication, labeling, and cut-out lettering. The goal appears to be a distinctive industrial aesthetic that remains legible while foregrounding the broken-stroke construction as a core visual motif.
The stencil bridges are prominent enough to become a defining pattern, especially in rounded characters (C, G, O, Q, S) where the breaks slice horizontally through the form. In text, this produces a distinctive banding effect across words, increasing character and presence while also making the texture more visually busy at smaller sizes.
