A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes are largely monoline, with squared terminals and minimal curvature, creating a strong, poster-like silhouette. Distinct stencil breaks appear consistently across many letters and numerals, with vertical and horizontal bridges that keep forms readable while clearly segmented. The rhythm is steady and mechanical, with large, flat serifs and robust joins that hold up well at large sizes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity matter—posters, headlines, signage, and bold packaging or labeling. The strong stencil construction also makes it appropriate for branding that references equipment, logistics, or industrial themes, and for large-format typographic statements where the breaks can be appreciated.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone—part military marking, part warehouse labeling. Its blunt geometry and stencil interruptions add a rugged, utilitarian character that feels functional and authoritative rather than decorative.
Designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a functional stencil logic, balancing readability with a purposeful, cut-out aesthetic. The consistent block geometry and sturdy slabs suggest an intention toward dependable, high-impact display typography for marked, labeled, or stamped contexts.
The stencil gaps are fairly prominent and become a primary visual feature, especially in round letters and numerals where the split emphasizes the counter shapes. Uppercase is particularly commanding, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky construction for a cohesive, uniform texture in headlines.
