A heavy, monoline sans with geometric construction and crisp, squared terminals. Stencil breaks are used consistently across the alphabet, creating clear bridges through bowls and counters while keeping the silhouettes stable and legible. Forms lean toward simple, robust geometry—round letters are near-circular and straight-sided glyphs are built from firm verticals and horizontals—giving the face a compact, sign-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry strong, poster-friendly presence, with stencil gaps placed to read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to bold display applications where the stencil bridges can be appreciated: posters, headlines, product packaging, and brand marks with an industrial or technical angle. It also works well for signage and labels that benefit from sturdy, high-contrast shapes against a background.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and no-nonsense signage. The stencil interruptions add a technical, fabricated feel—more “cut metal” than decorative—while the weight and straightforward shapes project confidence and clarity.
The design appears intended to combine the immediate impact of a heavy geometric sans with the practical, manufactured personality of a stencil system. By keeping stroke weight steady and breaks consistent, it aims for dependable readability while delivering a distinctly industrial visual signature.
Stencil joins are relatively wide and visually even, so the breaks feel intentional rather than distressed. Diagonals (such as in A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z) keep a sharp, engineered character, and the rounded letters maintain consistent stroke thickness despite the interruptions.
