A condensed slab-serif design with crisp, mostly straight-sided stems and sharply cut terminals. The letterforms feature deliberate stencil breaks that create bridges through verticals and bowls, giving counters a segmented, engineered feel while keeping silhouettes clear. Weight is heavy and distribution is fairly even, with compact apertures and sturdy serifs that read as squared and blocky. Overall spacing and rhythm are tight and vertical, emphasizing punchy, poster-forward texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display applications where a bold, condensed texture is desirable—posters, headlines, wayfinding, labels, and packaging. It also works well for branding that wants an industrial or stamped-mark aesthetic, especially in short phrases and large settings.
The font conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a vintage edge, like stenciled labeling on crates or machinery. Its broken strokes add urgency and grit while the strong slab structure maintains authority and legibility at display sizes. The result feels functional and robust rather than delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge a classic slab-serif foundation with practical stencil construction, producing a compact, high-impact face that stays recognizable when reproduced like cut-out or sprayed lettering. Its emphasis on strong verticals and consistent bridging suggests a focus on durable, utilitarian display typography.
Round letters such as O/Q and several lowercase bowls show prominent internal bridging that becomes a key identifying motif in text. The numerals and capitals keep consistent stencil logic, supporting a cohesive, signage-like system with strong figure/ground contrast.
