A heavy, blocky display face with squared proportions, flat terminals, and strongly angular corners. Letterforms are constructed from monoline strokes with pronounced stencil breaks that create consistent bridges and notches, producing segmented counters and interrupted bowls. Geometry leans rectangular and compact, with clipped diagonals and occasional chamfer-like cuts that sharpen the silhouette. Spacing and rhythm feel tight and purposeful, emphasizing solid mass and high contrast between inked shapes and carved-out gaps.
Best suited to bold applications where the stencil texture can be seen clearly, such as posters, headlines, signage, product packaging, patches, and apparel graphics. It also works well for labels, crate-style markings, and themed UI titles where a mechanical, industrial atmosphere is desired.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone with an industrial and tactical feel. Its stenciled interruptions read as engineered cutouts, suggesting equipment labeling, shipping marks, and military hardware. Overall, it carries a rugged, authoritative voice that prioritizes impact over softness.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch through solid, squared forms while using deliberate stencil breaks to add functional character and thematic texture. The consistent cutouts and bridges appear intended to evoke sprayed or cut lettering used in industrial and military contexts, while maintaining legibility in short, high-impact lines.
The stencil bridges are prominent across both uppercase and lowercase, and the numerals follow the same cut-and-bridge logic for a cohesive set. At smaller sizes the internal breaks may begin to visually fill in, while at larger sizes the crisp negative shapes become a defining texture.
