A heavy, oblique sans with sharply cut terminals and pronounced stencil breaks that slice through verticals, bowls, and diagonals. The forms are compact and forward-leaning, with squared-off curves and a slightly condensed, high-density silhouette that keeps counters tight. Stencil bridges are consistent and clean, creating repeated vertical gaps and occasional mid-stroke notches that give the letterforms a segmented, engineered rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong geometric cuts, producing bold, blocky shapes with a crisp, utilitarian finish.
Well suited to headlines, posters, title cards, and branding where a tough, industrial voice is desired. It also fits signage, packaging, and product graphics that benefit from a stenciled, equipment-marking aesthetic. Best used at medium to large sizes where the stencil bridges remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone feels industrial and tactical, like labeling on equipment, crates, or technical panels. Its forward slant and broken strokes add momentum and urgency, giving text a directive, action-oriented character. The repeated cut patterns contribute a rugged, no-nonsense mood that reads as functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to combine an assertive oblique stance with a disciplined stencil system, producing a compact, high-impact face that evokes marked surfaces and manufactured objects. The consistent cut logic suggests a focus on creating a recognizable texture across words while maintaining sturdy, legible silhouettes.
At display sizes the stencil interruptions become a defining texture, producing strong patterning across words and lines. The oblique angle and tight internal spaces can reduce clarity in longer passages, but they also create a distinctive, cohesive look in short, emphatic settings.
