A heavy slab-serif stencil with crisp, triangular cut-ins and clearly separated counters created by narrow bridges. Strokes stay robust and mostly monoline in feel, with contrast coming from the stencil breaks and sharp internal notches rather than stroke modulation. The letterforms are compact with squared terminals, pointed joins in places, and a strong vertical rhythm; curves (C, O, S) are sculpted into segmented bowls that read as deliberate cutouts. Numerals follow the same cut-and-bridge logic, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, bold headlines, title treatments, and brand marks where a strong stencil voice is desired. It can also work well on packaging and signage that benefits from an industrial or institutional flavor, particularly when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone is utilitarian and commanding, mixing industrial signage energy with a refined, editorial stiffness. The repeated cutout motifs add a crafted, mechanical character that can feel vintage and institutional at the same time.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through solid slabs and a consistent stencil system, using sharp, geometric cutouts to create a distinctive texture while keeping letterforms highly recognizable. The intent reads as a display stencil meant to feel manufactured and authoritative rather than casual or handwritten.
Small counters and frequent internal breaks create a textured, high-contrast pattern across words, especially in round letters and in the lowercase where bowls and stems are tightly segmented. The design rewards larger sizes where the bridges and cut-ins remain distinct and the sharp geometry reads as intentional detail.
