A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and subtly condensed, upright forms. Many strokes feature deliberate breaks and notches—most visible at terminals, joints, and in counters—creating a stencil-like construction without fine detailing. Curves are minimal and often flattened into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a rigid, engineered profile. Counters are compact and apertures are controlled, producing strong silhouette clarity and an assertive rhythm in display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, branding marks, and short statements where the segmented construction can read as a stylistic feature. It also fits packaging, signage, and wayfinding-inspired graphics that benefit from an industrial or marked-on-surface feel. For longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes with generous leading to keep the dense forms from visually merging.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling, equipment markings, and tactical/transportation graphics. The repeated cut-ins and segmented joins add a coded, utilitarian attitude that feels serious and workmanlike rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, stencil-informed structure, combining geometric solidity with purposeful interruptions that suggest manufactured or cut lettering. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent, engineered rhythm appropriate for bold labeling and display communication.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for impact, with dense interior shapes and consistent visual weight across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The stencil breaks also help prevent large dark masses in rounded letters, adding texture to long lines of text while keeping the voice firmly geometric and mechanical.
