A heavy, chunky display face with prominent stencil breaks that carve the strokes into separated segments. The letterforms are compact and blocky, with rounded corners and visibly irregular, hand-cut edges that create a lively texture. Counters are tight and often partially occluded by the stencil bridges (notably in rounded forms), producing strong black shapes and punchy silhouettes. Stroke endings tend to be blunt and slightly uneven, and overall spacing feels robust and poster-ready rather than delicate or finely tuned for small text.
Best suited for large-size display work where the stencil breaks and rough contours can be appreciated—posters, headlines, labels, and themed signage. It works well when you want a bold, stamped or cut-letter look in branding accents, apparel graphics, or short, high-impact phrases.
The font projects an industrial, utilitarian attitude with a mischievous, handmade twist. Its broken strokes and uneven cutouts evoke sprayed markings, packaging stamps, and DIY signage, giving it an energetic, slightly gritty character that reads as bold and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to combine a classic stencil construction with a more organic, hand-cut execution, prioritizing strong silhouettes and visual texture. It aims to deliver instant thematic impact and a rugged, crafted tone rather than neutral readability in continuous text.
The stencil joins are consistently applied across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive system of internal splits. Round letters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) rely on central bridges that noticeably shape the counters, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) show angular cutaways that amplify the jagged, crafted feel.
