A heavy, monoline display face built from angular, octagonal forms with consistently chamfered corners. Stencil breaks appear as narrow bridges and cut-ins placed at key joints and counters, producing crisp internal gaps while keeping letter silhouettes very solid. Proportions are compact with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, and the rhythm is tightly spaced with strong vertical emphasis. Curves are largely replaced by faceted segments, giving round letters a segmented, engineered look.
Best suited to large-format use where its stencil gaps and faceted geometry remain clear—headlines, posters, labels, signage, and bold brand marks. It also fits UI or graphic systems that aim for a technical or industrial voice, especially for section headers or short callouts rather than long reading text.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking stenciled labeling on equipment, shipping, and machinery. Its sharp geometry and deliberate breaks convey firmness and control, with a no-nonsense, command-style presence that reads as functional and rugged rather than friendly or decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic practical stencil lettering while retaining a clean, constructed geometric system. By using consistent chamfers and repeatable bridge placements, it balances an engineered aesthetic with the functional clarity associated with marked parts, crates, and industrial wayfinding.
The stencil logic is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with counters often partially opened by bridges that create distinctive internal negative shapes. Diagonals in letters like V/W/X and the faceted bowls in O/Q/0 emphasize the mechanical, cut-from-plate character, while the weight and tight apertures favor impact over delicate detail at small sizes.
