A heavy, geometric stencil sans with squared proportions and consistently rounded corners. Letterforms are built from broad vertical slabs and segmented horizontals, with frequent cut-outs that create clear stencil bridges and internal apertures. Curves are simplified into squarish bowls and half-rounded terminals, and diagonals appear as sharp wedges or clipped joins. Spacing and rhythm feel compact and punchy, with counters kept relatively tight and many glyphs relying on negative-space breaks for differentiation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, product branding, and signage where a strong industrial or tactical voice is desired. It also works well for packaging, event graphics, and UI/display labeling where stencil cues add attitude and structure. For long passages or small sizes, the internal segmentation and tight counters may call for generous sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is functional and industrial, evoking stenciled marking systems, equipment labeling, and engineered signage. Its strong silhouettes and modular breaks give it a tactical, machine-made character that reads as bold and directive rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to modernize classic stencil construction into a clean, modular display sans. By combining heavy strokes, geometric simplification, and consistent bridges, it aims for high-impact letterforms that suggest labeling, machinery, and utilitarian communication.
Distinctive stencil logic shows up across both capitals and lowercase, producing a consistent system of bridges in rounded forms (like O/C/G) and segmented bars in letters such as E/F. Numerals follow the same cut-out geometry, maintaining a cohesive, labeled-system feel. The design prioritizes impact and recognizability at display sizes, while the dense internal breaks can reduce clarity in smaller text.
