A heavy, right-slanted stencil serif with broad, wedge-like terminals and sharply cut counters. The letterforms are built from thick, high-ink strokes interrupted by consistent stencil breaks that read as deliberate bridges rather than random distress. Curves (C, G, O, Q, a, e) feel carved and segmented, while diagonals (A, N, V, W, X, Y, Z) are crisp and assertive. Proportions are generally wide with compact internal spaces, producing a dense, poster-forward texture; figures echo the same notched, split construction for strong stylistic unity.
Best suited for display settings where impact and character matter more than long-form readability—posters, event titles, product packaging, badges, and bold brand marks. It also works well for themed graphics and signage where the stencil construction reinforces an industrial or tactical aesthetic.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a commanding, no-nonsense voice. Its slanted stance and stencil cutouts suggest motion, machinery, and operational signage, giving it a bold, directive personality that feels both retro and industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a bold, slanted silhouette and clearly engineered stencil bridges. Its consistent cutouts and wedge-like serifs aim to create a strong, emblematic look that remains legible at large sizes while projecting a rugged, functional attitude.
The stencil breaks are prominent enough to become a defining graphic motif, creating a distinctive rhythm across repeated letters in text. Uppercase forms are especially forceful and emblematic, while lowercase maintains the same carved quality for cohesive setting in short lines.
