A heavy, block-built sans with pronounced stencil breaks that carve vertical and horizontal slots through many stems and bowls. Letterforms are compact and squared-off, with flat terminals, minimal curvature, and a strong reliance on straight strokes and simple geometric arcs. The stencil bridges are consistent and clean, producing crisp negative spaces that stay legible at display sizes while adding a rugged, fabricated feel. Numerals follow the same cutout logic, with bold silhouettes and repeated internal breaks that keep the set visually uniform.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and branding where a strong stencil texture can carry the design. It fits packaging, labels, and signage-inspired graphics that benefit from an industrial or equipment-marking aesthetic, and it can add punch to short pulls, badges, and stamped-style layouts.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, suggesting machinery, labeling, and regulated environments. The repeated cutouts add a tactical, coded quality that feels functional rather than decorative, while the blunt geometry gives it a confident, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to evoke practical stenciled marking—forms that look engineered for paint-through or cutout application—while remaining bold and readable in contemporary graphic use. Its consistent breaks and simplified geometry prioritize impact and a fabricated, utilitarian character.
Spacing and rhythm read sturdy and emphatic, with clear internal voids that help counters remain open despite the heavy weight. The stencil interruptions create a distinctive texture across lines of text, making it particularly noticeable in headlines and short phrases.
