A heavy, block-built sans with a stencil construction: strokes are broken by consistent interior cutouts that create bridges and negative “slots” through counters and joins. Letterforms are predominantly squared with blunt terminals, minimal rounding, and a modular, machined rhythm that reads like parts cut from plate. The capitals are compact and forceful, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) use sharp angles and occasional internal breaks that reinforce the segmented system. Lowercase follows the same template with sturdy bowls and frequent internal notches, keeping a unified, utilitarian texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and a rugged, industrial voice are desired—posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and bold branding marks. It can also work for signage or wayfinding styles that benefit from a stencil aesthetic, provided sizes and spacing allow the internal breaks to remain clear.
The font conveys an industrial, tactical tone—assertive and functional, with a utilitarian stencil feel associated with labeling, equipment markings, and hard-edged display typography. Its broken strokes add a mechanical character that feels engineered rather than handwritten or humanist.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold stencil look with a modular, machined construction that maintains consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The repeated internal cutouts suggest a focus on industrial character and high-impact display readability rather than neutral text setting.
The stencil gaps are a defining feature and strongly shape legibility, especially in dense text where the repeated internal cutouts create a patterned texture. Numerals match the same segmented logic, with squared silhouettes and consistent bridging that keeps them visually aligned with the capitals.
