A heavy, block-constructed display face with clear stencil breaks throughout the strokes. Forms are built from broad verticals and blunt terminals, with slightly irregular inner cutouts that create a sprayed/painted-through-template feel rather than a perfectly engineered stencil. Curves are compact and geometric, counters are relatively tight, and many joins show small gaps that keep the silhouettes punchy while maintaining legibility. Capitals read as strong and compact; lowercase follows the same modular logic with sturdy stems and simplified bowls.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and bold callouts where a rugged stencil texture is an asset. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging that aim for an industrial or tactical mood, especially in large sizes where the cutouts become a defining graphic element.
The overall tone feels industrial and task-oriented, evoking shipping crates, equipment markings, and field signage. Its broken strokes add grit and immediacy, giving the type a tough, no-nonsense character suited to dramatic, high-contrast messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a classic stencil aesthetic with strong, blocky silhouettes and unmistakable cut bridges, prioritizing instant recognition and a utilitarian voice. The slightly rough, hand-cut feel suggests an intent to add character and atmosphere beyond purely technical marking type.
The stencil bridges are prominent even at text sizes, producing a distinctive texture across lines—especially in rounded letters like O/Q and in numerals. Spacing appears designed for display impact, with shapes that hold together best when given room and when set in short bursts rather than dense paragraphs.
