A geometric sans with a wide stance and crisp, engineered contours. Many forms are built from near-circular bowls and straight, monolinear strokes, interrupted by deliberate vertical slits and occasional cut-out notches that read like stencil breaks or incisions. Curves are clean and even, terminals tend toward squared or sharply clipped endings, and diagonals are firm and planar, producing a slightly modular rhythm across words. The numerals and capitals follow the same constructed logic, with compact inner counters and consistent cut motifs that keep the texture bold and graphic.
Best suited to display settings where its cut-out construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics. It can work for short text blocks as a stylistic voice, but the repeated stencil-like breaks are most effective when used for emphasis and identity-driven typography.
The overall tone feels modernist and technical, with an industrial, fabricated character. The recurring breaks and reduced joins suggest machinery, signage, or architectural lettering, giving the design a purposeful, utilitarian edge rather than a friendly or calligraphic warmth.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a geometric sans through a constructed, stencil-influenced system—adding functional-looking breaks and notches to create a distinctive, industrial texture while keeping the underlying letterforms clean and contemporary.
The slit/cut features are prominent enough to become a defining texture at text sizes, especially in rounded letters and in characters with vertical stems. In longer passages the repeated incisions create a distinctive sparkle that reads as a deliberate stylistic device rather than incidental detailing.
