A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced stencil breaks that carve triangular and curved cut-ins through the stems and bowls. The letterforms mix geometric massing with wedge-like notches, producing strong negative shapes and a rhythmic, modular texture across words. Serifs are slab-like and simplified, with squared shoulders and crisp, hard edges; counters tend to be tight, and joins are kept sturdy to preserve a compact, poster-ready silhouette. Uppercase proportions read broad and commanding, while the lowercase remains sturdy and clearly segmented, maintaining the same cutout logic across rounds, diagonals, and verticals.
Best suited to large sizes where the stencil breaks and internal cutouts can read clearly, such as posters, magazine/album headlines, packaging, branding marks, and impactful signage. It can also work for short editorial callouts or title treatments where a strong, crafted industrial texture is desired.
The overall tone is bold and architectural, evoking stamped signage, military/industrial labeling, and stylized Art Deco–leaning display typography. The sharp stencil apertures add drama and a crafted, mechanical feel, giving headlines an assertive, graphic punch.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, high-impact serif voice while integrating a consistent stencil system for practical or stylistic reproduction. The emphasis is on recognizable word shapes, bold presence, and a distinctive cutout rhythm that adds character without relying on fine contrast.
The stencil bridges are highly visible in rounded letters and numerals, creating distinctive internal “slices” that become a key identifying motif. In text samples, the dense color and frequent cutouts generate a lively pattern, making spacing and word shapes feel strongly textured rather than smooth.
