A heavy, block-built sans with clear stencil breaks that slice through bowls and counters in consistent vertical segments. Forms are largely geometric and compact, with broad straight stems, squared terminals, and subtly rounded outside corners that soften the otherwise hard-edged construction. The stencil bridges create strong interior negative shapes—especially noticeable in C/G/O/Q and numerals—while diagonals in A/K/N/V/W/X are crisp and steep. Spacing reads tight and massy, producing an even, dark texture in text and a punchy silhouette in display sizes.
This font works best for high-impact display applications such as posters, headlines, and brand marks where the stencil structure can read clearly. It is well suited to signage and packaging that benefit from an industrial, label-like presence, and it can add a strong thematic voice to event graphics, merch, and short callouts.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and machined components. Its dense weight and decisive stencil cuts feel commanding and rugged, with a contemporary tactical edge that suits bold, no-nonsense messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, stencil-forward voice that stays highly legible at large sizes while emphasizing a constructed, mechanical character. By pairing compact geometric skeletons with consistent bridge cuts, it aims to feel durable and functional, like lettering designed for marking, labeling, and statement graphics.
The stencil interruptions are designed as prominent design features rather than subtle gaps, so counters often appear segmented and highly graphic. Round letters lean toward squared-off curves, and the figures show the same cut-through logic for a cohesive, system-like feel across letters and numbers.
