A heavy, blocky sans with a stencil-like construction and deliberately irregular edges. Strokes are thick and compact, with frequent internal breaks and cut-ins that read as stencil bridges or worn ink, creating a chiseled texture across straight and curved forms alike. Round letters such as O/Q and numerals like 0/8 show strong interior cutouts that interrupt the counters, while verticals and diagonals keep a sturdy, poster-oriented silhouette. Spacing appears slightly uneven in character due to the rough contours, reinforcing a handmade/printed feel rather than a polished geometric finish.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, warning-style signage, and label systems where a rugged stencil aesthetic is desired. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes where the breaks and rough edges remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking labeling, crates, and field equipment. Its distressed stencil voice feels assertive and gritty, with a workshop or tactical character that prioritizes impact over refinement.
The design appears intended to merge a bold sans foundation with a stencil/eroded printing effect, creating a durable, industrial voice for display typography. The repeated bridges and distressed contours suggest an aim toward authenticity—like paint-through stencils or worn type—while keeping letterforms straightforward for quick recognition.
The texture is consistent across cases and numerals, making the font read like a single process-driven style (sprayed, stamped, or screenprinted) rather than random distress. The cutouts are prominent enough to become a defining motif, especially in rounded letters, while straight-sided glyphs maintain strong rectangular mass for high visual punch.
