A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared geometry and deliberate stencil breaks that create strong internal bridges through counters and vertical stems. Strokes are largely uniform, with crisp terminals, minimal curvature, and a rhythm built from vertical emphasis and compact apertures. Capitals read as compact and engineered, while the lowercase follows the same modular logic with simplified bowls and straight-sided forms. Figures are robust and segmented, maintaining consistent bridge placement and strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography where the stencil construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, and strong typographic lockups. It also fits industrial or tactical-themed signage, packaging, and label-style graphics where a marked, cut-out look supports the message.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, equipment marking, and engineered signage. Its cut-out joins and rigid geometry suggest durability and utility, with a slightly militaristic, tactical edge that feels purposeful rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, mechanically precise voice while remaining highly legible in short bursts. The consistent stencil bridges and squared forms aim to communicate manufactured authenticity—like painted or cut lettering—while keeping a clean, modern construction.
Bridge placement is prominent and consistent, producing distinctive negative-space notches in letters like O, C, G, S, and numerals, which becomes a key identifying texture across lines of text. The bold mass and tight internal openings can make small sizes feel dense, but at larger sizes the stencil construction reads clearly and adds character.
