A heavy, geometric display face built from blocky, octagonal forms with sharply clipped corners and flat terminals. The letterforms are cut with consistent stencil breaks—most notably a vertical split through rounded shapes and occasional internal notches—creating clear bridges and strong negative-space rhythm. Counters are compact and rectangularized, diagonals are steep and chunky, and overall spacing reads tight and assertive, emphasizing silhouette over fine detail.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, badges, product marks, and packaging where a rugged, manufactured voice is desired. It can also work for signage-style graphics and themed interfaces, especially where an industrial or tactical aesthetic is appropriate.
The overall tone is utilitarian and forceful, evoking industrial labeling, military markings, and engineered hardware. Its crisp cuts and stencil interruptions add a technical, fabricated feel that also leans toward retro-futurist and sci‑fi branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fabricated stencil construction, prioritizing bold silhouettes and repeatable cut patterns that suggest sprayed or machined lettering. Its geometry and consistent breaks aim to project strength, utility, and a distinctly technical personality.
The stencil logic is visually consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain recognition despite the aggressive corner-cutting. At smaller sizes the internal breaks can become dominant, so the design reads best when given room to display its shapes and stenciled texture.
