A heavy, block-constructed sans with a stencil treatment throughout. Strokes are built from straight segments with chamfered corners, giving many glyphs an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Narrow internal counters and repeated vertical breaks create clear stencil bridges, while joins stay crisp and mechanical rather than rounded or calligraphic. Spacing is fairly tight and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with uppercase forms reading especially uniform and sign-like.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, headlines, event branding, and impactful packaging. It also performs well for signage and wayfinding where a rugged stencil aesthetic is desired, especially in short phrases, labels, and logo-style wordmarks.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone—more equipment label than editorial voice. Its hard angles and stencil gaps evoke manufactured objects, shipping marks, and tactical signage, creating a tough, authoritative feel that suits bold, attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clear stencil identity, combining modular, chamfered geometry with consistent bridges for a manufactured, utilitarian look. It favors bold presence and quick recognition over subtle text nuance.
Uppercase shapes feel particularly stable and modular; diagonals (like V, W, X, Y, Z) are formed with sharp wedges that emphasize direction and impact. Numerals share the same chamfered geometry and stencil breaks, keeping the set visually consistent and well suited to codes or short numeric strings.
