A heavy, geometric sans with consistent stroke thickness and sharply cut stencil breaks that create clear bridges across bowls and stems. Forms are built from straight segments and near-circular curves, with squared terminals and compact apertures that keep the silhouettes dense. The stencil cuts are prominent and repeat systematically across rounds (C, O, Q, 0, 8, 9) and verticals, producing a strong rhythm of negative-space slits. Lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey shapes and minimal modulation, while numerals follow the same segmented logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, bold statements where the stencil pattern can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, product branding, and industrial-themed packaging. It also works well for signage and labeling aesthetics, especially when paired with simple layouts and ample spacing.
The overall tone is industrial and functional, evoking equipment labeling, wayfinding, and engineered surfaces. The repeated breaks add a rugged, fabricated feel—more like cut metal or sprayed markings than a purely editorial typeface—giving it a decisive, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust stencil look with consistent geometry and high visual impact. Its systematic bridges and compact, engineered shapes suggest a focus on reproducible marking aesthetics—like cut, stamped, or sprayed lettering—while maintaining straightforward legibility in display use.
The stencil bridges are relatively wide and visually assertive, becoming a key identifying feature at both display and medium sizes. Counters can become more compartmentalized in round letters due to the central splits, which enhances character but also increases visual texture in longer text blocks.
