A heavy, geometric stencil with broad proportions and a tightly controlled, modular construction. Letters are built from simple verticals, diagonals, and large circular segments, with consistent stencil bridges cutting through bowls and joins to maintain strong, poster-like silhouettes. Curves are mostly monoline arcs with crisp, triangular breaks, while corners tend toward sharp wedges rather than softened terminals. Spacing feels compact in text, and the overall rhythm is driven by repeating vertical stems and bold, high-coverage counters that remain clearly separated by the stencil gaps.
Best suited to large-size applications where the stencil bridges become a defining graphic feature: posters, headlines, logos, and bold packaging systems. It can also work for short signage copy or labels where a tough, industrial voice is desired, but the dense weight and frequent breaks make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking industrial marking, military/transport signage, and mid‑century display graphics. Its broken strokes add a crafted, cut-out feel that reads as rugged and purposeful, while the clean geometry keeps it modern and disciplined.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display stencil that balances strict geometry with distinctive cut-out breaks, delivering strong recognition and a durable, utilitarian voice across a full basic character set.
Distinctive triangular notches and split counters appear throughout (notably in E/F and rounded letters), creating a cohesive cut-stencil motif across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Round forms such as O/0 and C show strong, simplified geometry with central breaks that emphasize the stencil structure. The lowercase keeps the same display-first construction, favoring legibility through large shapes over calligraphic detail.
