A heavy, geometric sans with squared bowls and flattened curves, built from broad strokes and tight interior counters. Stencil-like breaks appear as consistent bridges and gaps through joins and terminals, creating a segmented, machined rhythm across the alphabet. Corners tend toward crisp angles with occasional rounded transitions, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y/Z) read as sharp, engineered cuts. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s modular construction, keeping apertures and counters compact for a dense, sign-like texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage where the stencil breaks become a distinctive motif. It can also work for sci‑fi or industrial UI titling and event graphics, especially at larger sizes where the internal bridges stay clear.
The overall tone feels industrial and tactical, with a contemporary techno edge. The repeated interruptions in the strokes evoke labeling, cut metal, and utilitarian hardware markings, giving the font an assertive, engineered presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, constructed stencil aesthetic while preserving a clean geometric framework. By standardizing bridges and interruptions, it creates a cohesive industrial voice that stands out in display typography.
The stencil gaps are applied systematically, forming recognizable internal notches in rounded letters and interrupted horizontals in characters like E/F/T. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, maintaining a consistent, fabricated look that reads best when allowed ample size or tracking.
