A heavy, block-constructed stencil sans with tall lowercase proportions and compact, upright forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast and largely geometric shaping, mixing straight sides with rounded bowls on letters like C, G, O, and Q. Distinct stencil bridges appear throughout, creating crisp interruptions at joins and counters; these breaks are generally vertical or slightly angled and keep internal spaces open while emphasizing a cut-out, fabricated look. Overall spacing is tight and the silhouettes feel poster-ready, with a strong vertical rhythm and clear, simplified terminals.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil breaks can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branded slogans, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It performs especially well in high-contrast applications and large sizes where its cut bridges and blocky counters remain crisp and intentional.
The tone is functional and assertive, evoking painted markings, cut stencils, and equipment labeling. Its bold mass and visible bridges add a rugged, no-nonsense character that reads as industrial and slightly militaristic, with a vintage signage edge.
Designed to mimic stencil-applied lettering and cut-out templates, prioritizing impact, quick recognition, and a fabricated/marked surface aesthetic. The consistent heavy strokes and repeated bridge logic suggest an intention to deliver a cohesive industrial voice across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Lowercase shares much of the uppercase’s structural logic, resulting in a unified, caps-forward texture in text. The numerals follow the same cut-out strategy, with clear breaks that help maintain legibility at display sizes while reinforcing the stenciled motif.
