A heavy, rounded stencil serif with soft corners and broad, blunted terminals. Stencil breaks are consistent and often appear as small triangular or wedge-like notches that create pronounced counters and bridges, giving many letters a cut-out feel. Curves are generously swollen (notably in O, C, S, and lowercases like a, e, o), while verticals stay sturdy and even, producing a compact, high-ink silhouette. Spacing reads open for a display face, with lively, uneven internal rhythm created by the repeated notches and asymmetrical joins.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where the stencil texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits packaging and signage applications that want an industrial or workshop cue without sharp, militaristic edges. In longer passages it remains readable but the repeated breaks create a strong pattern, so it works most effectively for short-to-medium display copy.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, like painted lettering on crates, equipment, or signage, but the rounded forms keep it friendly rather than severe. The repeated wedge cuts add a quirky, almost playful cadence that nods to mid-century display typography and craft stenciling.
The font appears designed to merge classic stencil functionality with a softened, display-oriented personality. Its consistent bridges and rounded massing suggest an intent to deliver high-impact lettering with a recognizable cut-out motif and a warm, approachable finish.
The design emphasizes distinctive interior shaping: counters are frequently pinched or segmented by the stencil bridges, which becomes a defining texture in continuous text. Numerals carry the same cut-out logic and maintain the bold, rounded presence, helping keep a consistent voice across alphanumerics.
