A heavy, all-caps-forward stencil serif with wide proportions and crisp, triangular cut-ins that create pronounced stencil bridges. The letterforms rely on strong vertical stems and simplified, geometric bowls, with sharp notches and split terminals giving a carved, cutout silhouette. Counters are often interrupted by straight bridges, producing a rhythmic pattern of black mass and negative slits that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Overall spacing reads fairly open for the weight, supporting large-scale clarity while keeping a tight, graphic texture in text.
Best suited to posters, headlines, titles, and branding where the stencil texture can read cleanly and contribute character. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage applications that benefit from an industrial or utilitarian flavor, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is commanding and industrial, evoking signage, equipment markings, and heritage display typography. Its sharp cutaways and dense color create a dramatic, no-nonsense voice suited to bold statements and high-impact messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, display-oriented stencil look with a refined, editorial serif edge—combining utilitarian bridge logic with stylized cutouts for a distinctive graphic signature.
The stencil breaks are integrated as stylistic wedges rather than neutral gaps, which makes the texture feel intentionally decorative as well as functional. In running lines, the repeated bridges introduce a distinctive striped cadence that can become a key part of the visual identity.
