A serif display face with a compressed, tall stance and strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, and the serifs are wedge-like and bracketed, giving the letters a carved, poster-like solidity. Clear stencil breaks appear as deliberate gaps and bridges in key joins and terminals, producing a segmented silhouette while keeping counters open and recognizable. The lowercase shows compact, utilitarian forms with a single-storey a and g, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright proportions with sturdy curves and cut points that echo the stencil logic.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil character can read as a design feature: posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging that want an industrial or heritage feel. It can also work for signage-style applications, especially at larger sizes where the bridges and breaks remain crisp and intentional.
The overall tone feels industrial and vintage, like stamped signage or cut-letter stencils used for labeling and display. Its sharp wedge serifs and deliberate interruptions add drama and a slightly utilitarian edge, balancing old-style editorial presence with workshop practicality.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif display structure with practical stencil construction, delivering a bold, label-like voice that stays legible while clearly signaling a cutout or stamped production aesthetic.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the internal shapes stay relatively open for a stencil design, helping letter identification even as strokes are interrupted. The design’s consistency comes from repeated vertical stems, recurring wedge terminals, and a uniform approach to where breaks occur, which creates a steady rhythm across text lines.
