A heavy, geometric sans with rounded corners and consistent stroke thickness, built from simple circular and rectangular forms. The design features prominent stencil breaks—often as vertical or horizontal gaps—creating clear bridges within bowls and counters. Curves are smooth and near-monoline, while joins and terminals are cleanly cut, giving the letterforms a manufactured, die-cut feel. Spacing reads sturdy and even in text, with large, open counters that help the cutouts remain legible at display sizes.
Well suited for display typography where the stencil construction is a feature: posters, large headlines, wayfinding-style signage, packaging, and brand marks that want an industrial or tactical edge. It can work for short text blocks at larger sizes, where the breaks remain crisp and the rhythm of the cutouts adds texture.
The overall tone feels industrial and functional, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and engineered signage. The stencil interruptions add a tactical, no-nonsense character that reads confident and workmanlike rather than delicate or expressive.
Likely designed to deliver a modern stencil aesthetic that stays bold and readable while adding visual interest through consistent bridges and cutouts. The rounded geometry suggests an intention to balance rugged utility with a contemporary, approachable finish.
The stencil logic is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with circular characters (like O/0-style forms) showing strong internal bridging. The rounded construction softens the otherwise hard-edged, utilitarian voice, making it feel contemporary rather than strictly military.
