A heavy, squared sans with a monoline feel and crisp, rectilinear construction. Many glyphs incorporate stencil-like breaks and notches—often as vertical or corner cut-ins—creating deliberate interruptions in bowls and stems while keeping overall shapes solid and compact. Curves are minimized and rounded portions are tightened into squarish arcs, producing strong, blocky counters and a rigid rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. The numerals echo the same segmented logic, with conspicuous internal breaks that enhance the technical, cut-out appearance.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and product or equipment labels where a bold, utilitarian voice is desirable. It also works well for sports branding, event graphics, and short bursts of text where the stencil detailing can be appreciated without accumulating visual noise.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling, equipment markings, and athletic or tactical graphics. Its segmented details add a rugged, engineered character that reads as assertive and purpose-built rather than neutral or friendly.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward grotesque foundation with stencil/industrial cut-ins, delivering a robust sans that feels manufactured and ready for marking, labeling, or impact-forward display typography.
The distinctive stencil gaps create strong visual identity and help separate dense forms at display sizes, but they also introduce extra texture in running text. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show the most pronounced interruptions, reinforcing the font’s mechanical, fabricated aesthetic.
