A heavy, block-based sans with squared proportions and sharp, rectangular terminals. The design is built from solid vertical stems and flat horizontals, interrupted by consistent stencil-like cutouts that create small gaps in bowls and joins. Curves are minimized and corners feel machined, giving glyphs a rigid, modular geometry. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm is dense, with strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spacing that holds together well at large sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, badges, and impact-focused branding where a rugged stencil texture is desirable. It can work for signage and packaging that aims for an industrial or utilitarian feel, and for short text elements such as labels, section titles, and number-heavy callouts.
The repeated cutouts and monolithic shapes evoke stenciled labeling, industrial signage, and military or shipping contexts. It feels tough, functional, and attention-grabbing, with a slightly retro display tone reminiscent of stamped or painted letterforms.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a purposeful stencil construction, balancing strict geometry with consistent cutouts that suggest practical, reproducible lettering. Its primary goal is recognizability and tone rather than quiet, continuous-text comfort.
The stencil breaks are applied systematically across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a distinctive texture in running text. In longer lines the dark massing is prominent, so clear hierarchy and generous tracking can help maintain readability in display settings.
