An oblique, geometric sans with stencil-style breaks that cut through bowls and stems, creating clear bridges and strong negative shapes. Strokes are mostly monolinear and clean-edged, with squared terminals and slightly condensed, forward-leaning proportions. The stencil cuts are applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a segmented rhythm and a slightly mechanical texture in text. Counters are open and straightforward, and the overall drawing favors simple, utilitarian construction over calligraphic modulation.
Well-suited for display typography where the stencil segmentation is meant to be seen: posters, headlines, product branding, labels, and high-impact signage. It can also work for apparel graphics and event or team identifiers where a technical, fast look is desired.
The font reads as technical and action-oriented, with a utilitarian, equipment-label energy. Its slant and segmented joins add speed and urgency, evoking industrial signage, tactical marking, and motorsport graphics rather than formal editorial tone.
Likely designed to combine a straightforward oblique grotesque skeleton with purposeful stencil interruptions, delivering a rugged, reproducible look for marking and graphic display. The consistent bridges and simplified geometry suggest an emphasis on strong silhouette, quick recognition, and a distinctive industrial texture.
The stencil gaps become a defining graphic motif at display sizes, adding visual bite and helping prevent large dark masses in rounded letters and figures. In longer text, the repeated breaks create a patterned texture, so spacing and size will influence perceived clarity and smoothness.
