A heavy, angular stencil with geometric construction and crisp chamfered corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many joins are simplified into straight segments, giving the letters a block-built, engineered feel. Clear stencil bridges and interior cutouts appear throughout, producing segmented counters and distinctive notches, especially in curved forms like O, C, S, and numerals. Proportions lean compact and sturdy, with a steady vertical rhythm and strong baseline presence; lowercase forms mirror the uppercase’s structural logic with tall, narrow silhouettes and simplified curves.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, warning or wayfinding signage, packaging accents, and product or crate-style labeling. The strong stencil breaks and dense texture can reduce clarity at very small sizes, so it performs most confidently in medium-to-large display use where the cutout details remain legible.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and no-nonsense signage. The sharp cut-ins and bridges add a tactical, industrial edge that reads as strict, functional, and slightly aggressive. At display sizes it feels bold and attention-commanding, with a clear “marked/encoded” character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold stencil voice that feels manufactured and deployable, balancing strong legibility with deliberate cutout detailing. Its consistent weight and sharp chamfers aim for a rugged, functional aesthetic that reads like applied marking rather than traditional text typography.
The stencil breaks are prominent enough to become part of the personality, creating a distinctive texture in longer lines of text. Curved letters tend to be faceted into straight-ish segments, and diagonals (as in V, W, X, and Z) are handled with the same chiseled, cutout logic. Numerals follow the same segmented approach, maintaining a consistent, uniform color across mixed copy.
