A condensed slab-serif with clear stencil breaks that interrupt stems and bowls using straight, squared-off bridges. Strokes are heavy with modest contrast and a crisp, hard-edged finish, producing strong vertical emphasis and compact counters. The serif treatment is blocky and rectangular, and the overall construction feels rigid and machined, with consistent break placement that keeps letterforms recognizable even at bold sizes. Numerals and capitals read especially sturdy, while the lowercase maintains a fairly conventional proportioning and a workmanlike rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, badges, and packaging where the stencil texture can be a feature. It can also work for logotypes and display text that aims for an industrial or utilitarian voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the bridges remain clear.
The tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, fabrication, and equipment marking. Its bold, interrupted forms add a slightly militaristic, poster-like drama while still feeling functional and controlled rather than decorative or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy stencil look with strong vertical economy, pairing blocky slab serifs and consistent bridges to create an industrial texture that remains legible and bold in display use.
The stencil joins are large and unmistakable, creating a pronounced pattern of negative-space notches that becomes a defining texture in lines of text. Tight, condensed shapes increase density, so spacing and line length will strongly influence readability in paragraphs.
