A heavy, geometric sans with carved stencil breaks that interrupt bowls and vertical stems with crisp bridges. The letterforms are built from broad, mostly uniform strokes with squared terminals, compact counters, and a slightly condensed, poster-oriented rhythm. Curves are clean and near-circular where used (C, O, G, Q), while diagonals (A, K, N, V, W, X, Y) are sharply cut and add angular energy. Numerals follow the same system, with strong verticality and consistent, centrally placed interruptions that keep the silhouette bold while clearly signaling the stencil construction.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as posters, headlines, signage, wayfinding-style graphics, packaging, and bold brand marks where the stencil texture is a feature. It can also work for short labels and category headers in UI or editorial layouts, especially when an industrial or tactical mood is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and commanding, evoking industrial marking, military or shipping stencils, and rugged equipment labeling. Its blunt geometry and dramatic negative cuts give it a tough, no-nonsense voice with a retro-factory edge.
The design appears intended to translate classic stencil lettering into a modern, digitally consistent system: strong silhouettes, repeatable bridge placement, and simplified geometry that holds up at large sizes while reading immediately as stencil-built.
The stencil gaps are a defining visual motif and remain consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a distinctive striped texture in words. In longer text the internal breaks become a repeating pattern, so spacing and line length can significantly affect perceived density.
