A heavy, right-slanted stencil sans with compact proportions and strong, angular construction. The letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with consistently placed stencil breaks that create clear bridges and rhythmic negative gaps. Counters are generally tight and geometric, terminals are blunt, and the overall texture reads as dense and energetic, with a forward-leaning stance that emphasizes motion and impact.
Works best for short, bold messaging where the stencil rhythm can be appreciated—posters, headlines, team or sports branding, event promotions, and packaging/label-style graphics. It can also support UI or wayfinding-style accents when a rugged, marked-on feel is desired, but the heavy stencil breaks suggest avoiding long body text.
The font conveys an industrial, tactical tone—like sprayed markings, equipment labeling, or high-impact display graphics. Its slant and chunky stencil interruptions add urgency and a sporty, action-oriented flavor, while the disciplined repetition of breaks keeps it purposeful rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful display voice that combines a slanted, energetic silhouette with unmistakable stencil construction. The consistent bridges and compact counters suggest a focus on durable, sign-and-marking aesthetics translated into a modern, high-impact typographic texture.
The stencil cuts are prominent enough to become a defining pattern across both uppercase and lowercase, and they remain visible even at larger text sizes in the sample. Numerals follow the same broken-stroke logic, reinforcing a cohesive, utilitarian voice across alphanumerics.
