A heavy, block-built sans with a stenciled construction and frequent internal breaks that split strokes into distinct segments. Forms are largely rectangular and octagonal, with clipped corners, deep notches, and squared terminals that create a cutout rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are minimized and, where present, appear as faceted arcs; counters are tight and often interrupted by the stencil gaps, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette. Spacing reads compact and firm, and the overall texture is assertive with strong vertical emphasis and occasional diagonal cuts in letters like M, N, V, W, and Z.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where the stencil texture can be appreciated, as well as signage-style graphics and packaging that benefit from an industrial voice. It will be most effective at medium to large sizes, where the internal gaps and clipped corners remain clearly legible.
The tone is utilitarian and hard-edged, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and other functional typography where durability and authority are more important than softness. Its segmented shapes lend a technical, engineered feel, while the bold massing communicates impact and urgency.
The design appears intended to translate classic stencil and industrial marking conventions into a compact, contemporary display sans. By using consistent breaks and faceted geometry, it aims to deliver strong visual impact while maintaining a systematic, manufactured look across letters and numbers.
Distinctive stencil breaks are used consistently across both uppercase and lowercase, giving small sizes a mottled, pattern-like texture and larger sizes a striking, graphic presence. Numerals follow the same cut-and-notch logic, maintaining a cohesive system for display settings.
