A heavy, rounded-rect sans with a modular, superelliptical construction and softened corners. Many letters incorporate deliberate breaks and notches—most noticeably in round forms like O/Q and in several vertical strokes—creating a stencil-like continuity while keeping counters open. Stroke weight is largely consistent with minimal contrast, and the overall rhythm is compact and sturdy, with slightly irregular, cut-in edges that read like applied paint or punched plate. Numerals follow the same chunky, segmented logic, with the 0 featuring a central split and the 3 showing stepped terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headers, packaging, labels, and wayfinding where the stencil breaks and chunky shapes can be appreciated. It also works well for industrial-themed branding, product marks, and short, high-impact copy where texture and attitude are desired.
The font conveys an industrial, workmanlike tone with a rugged edge—part stencil, part worn print. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly enough for modern branding, while the cutouts and dents add grit, urgency, and a utilitarian signage feel.
The design appears intended to combine a modern rounded sans foundation with stencil-like interruptions to create durability, grip, and a manufactured aesthetic. It emphasizes strong silhouettes and repeatable modular forms to deliver high-impact, graphic presence.
In text, the intermittent gaps inside stems and bowls become a defining texture, producing a patterned “broken” rhythm across words. The design maintains clear silhouettes and broad apertures, but the internal breaks can become visually busy at smaller sizes or tight tracking.
