A heavy, slanted sans with compact, blocky letterforms and consistent stroke weight. The defining feature is the repeated stencil-style breaks: narrow vertical and diagonal gaps slice through bowls and stems, creating crisp bridges and a cut-out rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are simplified and tightened, counters are relatively small, and terminals tend toward straight, sheared endings that emphasize speed and direction. The overall spacing is sturdy and display-oriented, with a strong, uniform texture line-to-line.
This font is best suited to posters, headlines, branding marks, and promotional graphics where a strong stencil aesthetic is desired. It also works well for sports or event materials, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics, particularly when set large enough for the internal breaks to read clearly.
The repeated cutouts and forward slant give the face a utilitarian, high-impact tone that feels industrial and tactical. Its rhythm suggests motion and urgency, lending a sporty, streetwise attitude that reads as bold and attention-seeking rather than polite or bookish.
The design appears intended to combine a bold, forward-leaning sans structure with disciplined stencil interruptions, producing an identity-forward display face that signals utility and impact. The consistent placement of breaks suggests a focus on creating a repeatable, recognizable texture across words and lines.
The stencil breaks are applied systematically to both uppercase and lowercase, including rounded characters and numerals, producing a cohesive “masked” look. In longer text, the cuts create a distinctive striped pattern that becomes part of the visual identity, especially at larger sizes.
