A geometric serif stencil with prominent cut-outs that create crisp internal bridges across bowls, diagonals, and joins. The letterforms are built from broad, solid strokes with minimal modulation, producing a strong, poster-like color and clean edges. Triangular and wedge-shaped notches appear consistently in counters and at terminals, giving the design a sharp, engineered feel. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and compact in detail, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with a single-storey a and g; the overall rhythm reads stable and deliberate at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same cut-out logic, with segmented curves and clear breaks that reinforce the stencil construction.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, signage, and bold branding where the stencil breaks can read cleanly. It also fits packaging and identity systems that want an industrial or engineered aesthetic, especially in short lines or large-scale typographic compositions.
The font conveys an industrial, utilitarian tone with hints of maritime and military marking systems, driven by its functional stencil breaks and robust geometry. The sharp wedge cut-ins add a contemporary, slightly dramatic edge, making the overall impression assertive and purposeful rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge classic stencil construction with a refined geometric serif skeleton, creating a high-impact display face that feels functional and styled at once. Its consistent wedge cut-outs suggest a focus on recognizability and texture, evoking marked, painted, or cut lettering while maintaining a polished typographic finish.
Counters are often partially closed by the stencil bridges, and many curves are interrupted by consistent, angular apertures that become a defining texture in running text. The design relies on negative-space patterning as much as on stroke shape, so the characteristic look strengthens as size increases and the breaks remain clearly visible.
