A heavy, block-built sans with squared contours and tightly contained counters. The design uses consistent internal cut-ins and vertical slits that create a stencil-like rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase, with occasional diagonal nicks that add a rugged, machined feel. Stroke terminals are flat and abrupt, with minimal curvature overall; only small rounding appears where needed to keep shapes from feeling brittle. Proportions lean compact and vertical, with a robust, uniform silhouette that stays dark and dense in text.
Best suited for display applications where impact and presence are priorities—posters, bold headlines, product packaging, and identity work that benefits from an industrial or stenciled voice. It can also work for signage-style typography and short callouts where the cut-in details remain visible.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian tone—confident and no-nonsense, with a hint of retro signage and equipment labeling. Its repeated notches and cutouts give it a constructed, engineered personality that feels tough and functional rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority with a built, stencil-informed construction. By combining compact, squared silhouettes with repeated internal breaks, it aims to stay readable while adding a distinctive, rugged signature for display typography.
Distinctive stencil interruptions are integrated as part of the letterform structure rather than as decorative texture, creating consistent ‘break’ points that remain legible at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals read particularly strong in short bursts, while the dense black mass can dominate in longer passages.
