A heavy, block-built sans with a pronounced stencil construction: most letters are segmented by vertical and occasional diagonal breaks that read like cutouts. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with softly irregular edges that feel slightly inked or worn rather than mechanically perfect. Counters are compact and often split by the stencil gaps, while curves (C, O, S) are simplified into chunky, rounded forms. Overall spacing is sturdy and the rhythm is punchy, with noticeable glyph-to-glyph shape idiosyncrasies that add a hand-cut, utilitarian texture.
Best suited to display use such as posters, headlines, labels, and packaging where a bold, stenciled texture is desirable. It can also work for signage-inspired graphics and apparel or merch applications, especially when the goal is an industrial or tactical feel.
The font conveys a tough, industrial tone with strong associations to stenciled marking systems and field-applied lettering. Its broken strokes and roughened silhouettes add a gritty, workwear personality that feels functional, assertive, and a little rebellious.
The design appears intended to emulate bold stencil lettering and cutout marking, combining simplified sans proportions with deliberate breaks and slightly rough contours. It prioritizes impact and thematic character over quiet readability, making the stencil pattern an integral part of the visual identity.
The stencil interruptions are a defining feature and remain visible even at larger sizes, creating strong internal negative shapes. In text, the weight and segmentation produce a dense color; the most distinctive look emerges in short lines where the cutouts read as deliberate patterning rather than noise.
