A monolinear, geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and a modular construction. Many glyphs incorporate deliberate breaks and small bridges, producing clean cutouts in bowls and stems and giving round forms a segmented, ring-like feel (notably in O/o and Q/q). Uppercase shapes are mostly straight-sided and open, with simplified diagonals in A/V/W/X and trimmed terminals that keep counters airy. Lowercase forms stay simple and upright with compact curves, narrow joins, and occasional truncated strokes that reinforce the engineered, stencil-like rhythm.
This style works best for display typography where the bridged cutouts can be appreciated—posters, titles, logos, packaging, and environmental graphics. It can also suit tech-oriented interfaces or labels when used at comfortable sizes and with sufficient spacing to preserve the internal breaks.
The repeated cutouts and bridged joins create a contemporary, industrial tone that reads precise and manufactured. Its crisp geometry suggests technical signage and modern product aesthetics rather than warm, handwritten expression.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with purposeful bridged interruptions, creating a distinctive, reproducible look associated with stenciling and industrial marking. The result prioritizes graphic identity and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The font’s identity is driven by the placement and consistency of its internal gaps: they’re large enough to be unmistakable at display sizes and remain coherent in continuous text. Numerals follow the same system, with simplified curves and controlled openings that keep the set visually uniform.
