A high-contrast stencil slab-serif with strong vertical stems and narrow, razor-cut joins. Letterforms are constructed from solid rectangular strokes interrupted by consistent stencil bridges, creating clear breaks through bowls and counters (notably in O/Q and rounded lowercase). Serifs read as blunt, blocky slabs with minimal bracketing, while curves are taut and slightly condensed, giving the design a crisp, engineered rhythm. Uppercase has commanding proportions and tight internal spaces; lowercase maintains the same cut-and-bridge logic with compact bowls and a single-storey a and g.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, album/film titles, packaging, and signage or label-style graphics. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section headers when a rugged, stamped presence is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and assertive, evoking industrial labeling, military marking, and vintage stencil typography. The sharp breaks and heavy verticals lend a sense of toughness and authority, while the high-contrast construction adds an editorial, poster-like drama.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif structure with unmistakable stencil functionality, producing a bold marking style that remains typographically structured rather than purely utilitarian. Its consistent bridge placement and high-contrast shapes suggest a focus on impactful display typography with an industrial edge.
Stencil breaks are visually consistent across the set and are used as a primary design motif rather than a subtle detail, so texture becomes part of the word shape. Numerals follow the same bridged construction, with the 0 clearly segmented and other figures showing angular cuts that reinforce the mechanical feel.
