A heavy, expanded sans with a stencil construction throughout, built from broad strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry. Counters are large and simple, and most joins end in softened corners rather than sharp terminals, giving the letterforms a machined, cut-from-plate feel. The stencil breaks are consistent and fairly chunky, often placed at key pinch points in curves (C, O, S) and at structural joins (E, F, H), preserving a strong silhouette while clearly signaling the cutout logic. Capitals are dominant and compact in internal detail, while the lowercase follows the same modular system with single-storey forms and simplified curves, keeping texture dense and uniform in text.
Best suited to display roles where the stencil breaks can read clearly: headlines, posters, product packaging, branding systems, and wayfinding or environmental graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to keep the bridges from filling in or blurring.
The overall tone reads industrial and functional, with a no-nonsense, equipment-marking character. Its stout shapes and deliberate gaps evoke stenciled paint, labeling, and fabricated signage, leaning more modern-mechanical than vintage ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern stencil voice with high-impact silhouettes and a consistent cutout logic, optimized for attention-grabbing display typography and industrial-inspired communication.
Spacing and rhythm emphasize big, stable shapes; the bridges create a distinct flicker across lines that becomes part of the texture, especially in rounded letters and numerals. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are broad and assertive, helping maintain clarity at larger sizes, while the distinctive breaks in letters like S, O, and 8 become key identifiers.
