A geometric, heavy display stencil with broad proportions and a strong, rectangular footprint. Letterforms are built from simple verticals, horizontals, and circular segments, then interrupted by consistent stencil breaks and triangular notches that create a cut-out, punched look. Counters tend toward near-circular bowls, terminals are blunt, and curves are rendered as clean arcs with minimal modulation. Spacing appears generous for a stencil, with clear internal separations that keep dense shapes from closing up at display sizes.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as posters, album/film titles, brand marks, packaging panels, and large-format signage where the stencil breaks become an intentional graphic motif. It can also work for short editorial callouts and chapter openers, but the pronounced cut-outs make it less ideal for extended small-size reading.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, machinery markings, and mid‑century sign systems. The sharp cut-ins add a slightly aggressive, engineered character that feels bold and poster-ready rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears intended to merge classic stencil practicality with a modern, geometric display sensibility—maximizing presence through mass and simplified construction while using consistent breaks and notches to add identity and maintain legibility in solid forms.
Distinctive triangular incisions and split bowls create strong rhythm across words, producing a recognizable texture even in longer lines. The stencil bridges are visually prominent, so the face reads most confidently when allowed room—headlines, short blocks, and large numerals benefit from the graphic interruptions.
