A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and broadly rounded corners, built from uniform stroke widths. Clear stencil breaks are cut into bowls, stems, and crossbars, producing consistent bridges and a punched-out rhythm across the alphabet and figures. Curves are simplified into sturdy arcs, terminals are blunt, and counters tend to be compact, emphasizing solid black mass. The overall spacing and proportions feel engineered and display-forward rather than text-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where the stencil detail can read clearly. It works well for signage systems, product labels, packaging, and props that need an industrial or tactical aesthetic, and for short UI/branding accents where bold, template-like lettering is desired.
The stencil construction and dense forms create an industrial, authoritative tone associated with equipment labeling and field marking. Its cut-outs add a functional, fabricated feel—like paint through a template—giving the face a rugged, utilitarian personality with strong visual impact.
The design appears intended to translate the practical language of stencil lettering into a clean, consistent digital form: strong silhouettes, repeatable bridge placement, and simplified geometry for dependable impact. Its construction prioritizes unmistakable shapes and a manufactured feel over delicate detail or long-form readability.
Round letters such as C, O, Q, and G show symmetrical inner notches, while straight-sided forms like E, F, H, and N use consistent breaks that maintain structural continuity. The numeral set follows the same logic, with prominent internal splits that keep the figures bold and highly recognizable at a glance.
