A heavy, geometric display face with pronounced stencil breaks that carve vertical and horizontal counters into otherwise solid strokes. Letterforms are built from broad, squared-off shapes with occasional rounded bowls, creating a modular, cut-out rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are blunt and the joins are straightforward, with minimal curvature and a strong, poster-like silhouette. In text, the repeated bridges form a consistent internal pattern that reads clearly at large sizes while staying distinctly segmented.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, product branding, packaging, and headline typography where the stencil character can be a feature. It also fits wayfinding, warning labels, and industrial-themed graphics, particularly when set large and with comfortable spacing.
The tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, equipment marking, and rugged signage. Its bold cutouts and block construction suggest strength and utility, with a faint retro-military flavor rather than a refined editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact stencil look with strong, simplified geometry and consistent bridging, producing an unmistakable cut-out aesthetic for attention-grabbing titles and graphic statements.
The stencil bridges are especially noticeable through round letters and numerals, where the gaps create a target-like center. The overall texture becomes darker and more patterned as text density increases, so generous tracking and larger settings help maintain clarity and punch.
