A condensed serif with crisp, wedge-like terminals and consistent stencil cutouts that create clear bridges through stems and bowls. The letterforms are built from sturdy verticals and tapered joins, with moderate contrast and a slightly engraved, poster-like rhythm. Uppercase shapes feel tall and compact, while the lowercase stays readable with a straightforward, utilitarian construction; numerals follow the same cut-and-bridged logic for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial settings where the stencil construction can be appreciated at size. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that want a manufactured or stamped feel while retaining classic serif structure.
The stencil breaks add an industrial, production-minded character, while the sharp serifs and tapered details lend an editorial, heritage tone. Overall it reads bold and official—more like signage and labeling than casual text—carrying a deliberate, crafted sense of authority.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with practical stencil engineering, delivering a condensed display face that stays legible while signaling industrial craft. Its consistent bridges and sharp terminals suggest use in bold messaging, branded labels, and attention-grabbing typographic statements.
The stencil bridges are applied consistently across straight strokes and curved forms, producing a distinctive flicker in long lines of text. Spacing is tight and vertical-driven, giving blocks of copy a dark, compact color that suits impact settings more than airy layouts.
