A heavy, compressed slab-serif stencil with straight-sided verticals, flattened curves, and crisp, rectangular terminals. Stencil breaks are consistently placed through bowls and joins, creating distinct bridges and strong internal counters while keeping the overall silhouette intact. Proportions are tall and condensed, with a pronounced vertical rhythm and sturdy, poster-like color; numerals and capitals read especially solid and uniform at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where a rugged stencil texture is desired. It also fits signage, packaging, labels, and anything needing an industrial or archival marking aesthetic, especially when set with ample tracking or at larger display sizes.
The font conveys an industrial, utilitarian tone with a vintage, poster-era punch. Its dense black mass and regimented stencil interruptions suggest authority and durability, evoking shipping marks, military labeling, or workshop signage. Overall it feels direct and no-nonsense, with a dramatic, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif poster forms with functional stencil construction, delivering high-impact letterforms that still feel practical and reproducible for marking and labeling contexts.
Stencil gaps are relatively wide and angular, producing noticeable light breaks that become a key part of the texture in continuous text. The slab-serif structure and compact widths help maintain legibility despite the broken strokes, though the strong patterning is most comfortable at larger sizes.
