A heavy, blocky sans with rounded outer corners and squared counters, shaped for strong silhouette rather than finesse. Many letters feature deliberate breaks and vertical notches through bowls and stems, creating a stencil-like construction and a mechanical rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are mostly blunt, curves are simplified, and joins feel engineered, producing a compact, sign-paint-like texture in text. Figures match the sturdy tone with simplified geometry and similarly interrupted forms in rounded digits.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a bold, manufactured aesthetic is desirable. It also fits signage and wayfinding-inspired graphics, especially in contexts that benefit from a stencil or cut-out impression. Use with generous spacing and sizes that let the internal breaks read clearly.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. The stencil breaks add a technical, fabricated character that reads as rugged and slightly retro, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and bold display messaging.
Likely designed to combine the impact of a heavy sans with the distinctive cues of stencil construction, creating a display face that feels engineered and tough. The rounded corners and consistent notches suggest an intention to balance friendliness with industrial clarity and instant recognizability.
The recurring interruptions in round letters (notably O/Q and similar forms) become a strong identifying motif, giving the typeface immediate distinctiveness at display sizes. The dense strokes and simplified counters can make long passages feel heavy, but they help the face remain punchy and graphic in short bursts.
