A heavy, geometric sans with predominantly straight strokes, squared terminals, and subtly rounded corners. Many glyphs feature deliberate stencil-like breaks and vertical cutouts through bowls and counters, creating a segmented rhythm while keeping the letterforms sturdy and blocky. Proportions feel compact and regular, with consistent stroke thickness and simple construction that favors clear silhouettes over finesse.
This design is well suited to posters, headlines, and branding where a rugged, stenciled texture is desired. It can also work effectively for signage, packaging, and product labels that benefit from a tough, industrial voice and clear, simplified shapes.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking labeling, equipment marking, and engineered signage. The repeating cutouts add a distinctive coded or mechanical character that reads as technical and slightly retro, while remaining assertive and direct.
The font appears designed to merge a straightforward geometric sans foundation with consistent stencil cuts, producing an industrial marker style that remains readable while adding a distinctive, mechanical surface texture.
The stencil interruptions are applied consistently across both uppercase and lowercase, including numerals, giving text a strong patterning at display sizes. In longer lines, the internal breaks become a prominent texture, so spacing and line length will noticeably influence the visual density.
