About
Derived from Pensum Display, this stencil serif exaggerates contrast and breaks letterforms into discrete shapes, blending brushy strokes with sharp, spiky details. Nine weights from Thin to Black are supported as a variable font, and a considered detail keeps accents and some punctuation slightly lighter in the heavier weights. Over 900 glyphs, small caps wider than the caps, and case-sensitive punctuation make it a well-equipped choice for editorial headlines, branding or artisanal packaging.
Classification
A high-contrast stencil display typeface derived from Pensum Display, combining brushy calligraphic contrast with stencil cuts and spiky details. The stencil treatment and extreme weight range place it firmly in the display category.
