A heavy, all-caps–forward stencil serif with chunky, squared silhouettes and crisp, hard edges. Stencil breaks are frequent and purposeful, cutting through counters and verticals with narrow bridges that create strong internal rhythm. Proportions lean compact with relatively tight apertures and small counters, while the lowercase stays sturdy and upright with a pragmatic, workmanlike structure. Numerals and capitals share a consistent, cut-metal geometry, producing a uniform, high-contrast texture in text despite the interrupted strokes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and wayfinding or labeling where a tough stencil look is desired. It also works well for props and graphic treatments that need an industrial or military-marking feel, especially at medium to large sizes where the breaks read clearly.
The face conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone—evoking shipping labels, equipment markings, and utilitarian signage. Its stencil breaks add a rugged, mechanical character that feels authoritative and functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic sprayed or cut stenciled lettering, prioritizing bold presence and immediate recognizability. Its consistent bridges and compact, blocky forms suggest a focus on practical marking aesthetics and strong visual impact across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Stroke terminals are largely flat and squared, with occasional wedge-like details where stencil gaps bite into curves and joins. The overall color is dark and emphatic, and the repeating bridge pattern becomes a defining visual motif in longer lines of copy.
