A condensed, heavy sans with uniform stroke weight and sharply cut terminals. The letterforms are built from simple geometric stems and bowls, interrupted by consistent stencil breaks that create clear internal bridges in rounds and counters. Curves are tight and controlled, with squared-off transitions and minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Overall spacing feels compact, and the strong vertical emphasis gives the face a tall, commanding silhouette.
Best suited to display applications where the stencil structure can be appreciated—posters, headlines, wayfinding-style signage, packaging, and bold labels. It can also work for short UI or editorial callouts when a rugged, technical voice is desired, but the broken strokes suggest using larger sizes for maximum clarity.
The stencil interruptions and compact proportions evoke an industrial, no-nonsense tone associated with marking, equipment labeling, and functional signage. Its blunt geometry reads as forceful and pragmatic, leaning more toward mechanical clarity than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate the look of stenciled marking into a compact, contemporary display sans. Its consistent bridges and simplified geometry prioritize a durable, repeatable visual system that signals function, authority, and industrial context.
The stencil gaps are prominent enough to become a defining texture in text, especially in enclosed shapes and at joins. In longer lines the repeated breaks create a patterned cadence, which can be a feature for display but may feel busy at small sizes.
