A compact, slab-serif display face with stout verticals and a steady, medium-contrast rhythm. Forms are clearly interrupted by deliberate stencil breaks, with squared-off terminals and subtly bracketed joins that keep counters open and readable. The drawing feels slightly condensed overall, with sturdy stems, tight interior spaces, and occasional wedge-like cutouts that give strokes a machined, tool-cut look.
Best suited to headlines, large subheads, posters, and signage where the stencil texture can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, labels, and branding systems that want an industrial, stamped aesthetic with strong contrast against clean backgrounds.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking stamped signage, military or shipping marks, and rugged workwear branding. Its heavy presence and engineered breaks read as confident and functional, with a vintage poster flavor rather than a delicate or literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, practical stencil look with slab-serif authority, balancing rugged interruptions with clear letter recognition. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent texture for impactful display typography in thematic and branded applications.
Stencil bridges are consistently placed across verticals and key joins, creating a repeated pattern that becomes a defining texture in words and lines. The numerals and capitals carry a strong, uniform color, while the lowercase maintains the same robust construction for headline use rather than long-form text.
