A condensed stencil serif with sturdy verticals, low contrast, and crisp, flat terminals. Letterforms are built from compact, rectangular proportions with deliberate breaks that create clear stencil bridges through bowls and counters. Curves are controlled and slightly squarish, keeping the rhythm tight and mechanical, while the serifs read as blunt slabs rather than delicate wedges. The overall texture is dark and uniform, producing strong word shapes even at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where a bold, industrial stencil voice is desired—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and signage. It also works well for branding systems that need a rugged, technical flavor and a compact footprint in tighter layouts.
The stencil interruptions and compact build give the face an industrial, utilitarian tone with a slightly vintage, workmanlike character. It evokes labeling, equipment markings, and no-nonsense signage rather than expressive or calligraphic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical stencil aesthetic with compact, high-impact word shapes, prioritizing clear bridge placement and a consistent, engineered rhythm across the character set.
The breaks are consistently applied across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, making the stencil logic feel systematic rather than decorative. The condensed proportions create an economical, space-saving line while maintaining strong vertical emphasis and a firm baseline presence.
