A tall, display-oriented stencil serif with narrow internal counters and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are predominantly monolinear, with crisp, chiseled terminals and pronounced stencil breaks that create clear bridges through stems and bowls. Curves are compact and slightly squared-off, giving letters like C, O, and S a tightened, engineered rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, upright structure with a straightforward, workmanlike texture. Numerals follow the same cut-and-bridged logic, keeping a consistent modular feel across the set.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and branding where the stencil construction is meant to be seen and felt. It also works well for labels, packaging, and environmental signage that benefit from an industrial, utilitarian voice and strong vertical presence.
The overall tone feels industrial and assertive, mixing vintage signage energy with a slightly theatrical, noir edge. The stencil interruptions add a mechanical, utilitarian character that reads as rugged and purposeful rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold stencil look with a refined serif silhouette—combining engineered breaks for a manufactured feel with tall, elegant proportions for dramatic display impact.
At text sizes the repeated stencil gaps form a distinctive pattern that can become a key part of the visual identity, especially in all-caps settings. The condensed proportions and tight apertures reward generous tracking and strong contrast against clean backgrounds.
