A condensed, heavy text face built from chunky, mostly monoline strokes with clear stencil breaks throughout. The forms are compact and upright with squared shoulders, tight apertures, and simplified geometry that prioritizes punchy silhouettes over refinement. Edges show a worn, slightly roughened cut, giving the counters and terminals an irregular, printed-through-stencil feel. Uppercase and lowercase share a sturdy, workmanlike structure, and the numerals follow the same blocked, segmented construction for a consistent set.
Well-suited for posters, bold headlines, and short callouts where the stencil language is part of the message. It also fits packaging, labels, wayfinding-style signage, and props or graphics that need an industrial marking look. For longer passages, larger sizes and slightly increased letterspacing will help maintain clarity through the stencil breaks.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, crates, equipment markings, and utilitarian signage. Its distressed stencil cuts add grit and urgency, leaning toward a vintage or field-issued aesthetic rather than sleek modern branding.
Designed to deliver a strong, compact stencil voice with a deliberately worn texture, balancing straightforward legibility with an assertive, branded “marked” character. The consistent segmentation across letters and figures suggests an emphasis on uniformity for display and labeling contexts.
Stencil bridges are frequent and visually assertive, creating strong internal rhythm but also interrupting finer interior spaces in smaller sizes. The condensed proportions and dense black shapes make it read best when given enough size and tracking to keep counters from closing up.
