A heavy, block-based sans with squared contours and compact counters, built from straight strokes and broad verticals. Clear stencil breaks appear throughout the alphabet, with bridges cutting into bowls and terminals to create segmented forms while keeping the silhouettes strong. Many glyphs also show irregular, chipped interiors that read like worn paint or abrasion, adding texture without fully breaking legibility. Proportions are tall and assertive, with a high x-height and sturdy caps that maintain a consistent, poster-ready rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where the stencil structure and distressed texture can be a focal point. It also fits wayfinding, product labels, packaging, and themed graphics that aim for an industrial or utilitarian voice. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity around the interior breaks.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, with a rugged, field-marking character. It suggests functional labeling—equipment, crates, signage—while the worn detailing adds a gritty, weathered attitude that can feel tactical or vintage depending on context.
The design appears intended to combine a straightforward stencil framework with a worn, chipped finish, delivering strong impact while evoking painted markings and hard-use surfaces. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and thematic texture over smooth, text-oriented refinement.
The stencil joins are fairly prominent and consistent, so the face reads clearly as a cut/bridged construction even at moderate sizes. The distressed cutouts vary from glyph to glyph, creating a roughened texture that becomes more noticeable in larger settings and in long text blocks.
