A heavy, block-built stencil serif with broad proportions and crisp, straight-sided strokes. The design uses pronounced stencil breaks—most notably through bowls and counters—creating strong vertical rhythm and clear bridges that read well at large sizes. Serifs are chunky and simplified, with mostly flat terminals and occasional angled cuts that add a mechanical, cut-out feel. Curves are kept sturdy and geometric, with circular forms interrupted by consistent gaps that emphasize a constructed, utilitarian look.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, album covers, labels, and bold branding where a cut-out or painted-through-stencil effect is desired. It also works well for signage-style applications and short bursts of text that benefit from high impact and a rugged, industrial flavor.
The overall tone feels industrial and authoritative, like lettering cut from sheet metal or painted through a stencil. Its weight and interruptions give it a rugged, no-nonsense voice that leans toward military, shipping-crate, and workshop signage aesthetics. The bold shapes also evoke a retro poster energy when set in large headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clear stencil identity, combining slab-like sturdiness with deliberate breaks to suggest fabricated lettering. It prioritizes presence and theme over neutrality, aiming for unmistakable display character in titles and branding.
The stencil joins vary by glyph but remain visually consistent in thickness, helping maintain recognizable letterforms even with substantial breaks. The face is most striking in uppercase, where the broad widths and strong verticals create a steady, commanding texture, while lowercase maintains the same robust, constructed character.
