A sturdy stencil sans with chunky, low-contrast strokes and clear bridges cut into bowls and counters. The outlines have an intentionally rough, inked texture—edges look slightly chewed and uneven, giving the letterforms a printed-through-stencil feel rather than a clean geometric cut. Proportions lean compact and vertical, with straightforward construction and minimal detailing, while spacing and widths vary a bit from glyph to glyph for a more handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short display text: posters, event graphics, bold headings, signage systems, packaging callouts, and product labels where an industrial stencil look supports the message. It can work for subheads or short blocks of copy at moderate sizes, but the rough edges and bridges favor punchy, high-contrast layouts over long-form reading.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, suggesting shipping crates, military marking, workshop labeling, and DIY signage. The distressed texture adds a gritty, street-level energy that reads as tough and practical rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to evoke sprayed or rolled stencil lettering with deliberate wear, balancing solid legibility with a rugged, marked-up surface. The intent appears to be a versatile stencil voice for themed graphics that need authenticity and grit without becoming overly ornate.
The stencil breaks are consistently applied across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, keeping counters open and recognizable at display sizes. The distressing is strong enough to be a defining feature, so the font reads best when the texture can remain visible and not fill in.
