A geometric, monoline sans with wide proportions and consistent stroke weight. The defining feature is a systematic stencil treatment: many bowls and joins are interrupted by straight, evenly sized gaps that read as intentional bridges rather than damage. Curves are built from smooth circular forms, while terminals and joins favor squared-off, engineered cuts, creating a precise, modular rhythm. Counters stay open and round, and the overall spacing feels even and controlled in both uppercase and lowercase.
Works best in headlines, logos, and short-to-medium display copy where the stencil breaks can be appreciated as a stylistic motif. It’s well suited to signage, packaging, and interface or wayfinding-style graphics that benefit from a precise, industrial texture.
The repeated breaks and clean geometry give the font a contemporary, technical tone with an industrial edge. It feels designed for systems, labeling, and modern themes where a constructed, machine-made voice is desirable, while still staying approachable and legible at display sizes.
Likely intended as a modern stencil sans that balances clarity with a distinctive broken-stroke signature. The design appears built around consistent, repeatable cuts to create a coherent visual system across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The stencil gaps are applied quite consistently across letters and figures, producing strong patterning in words and a distinctive texture in longer lines. Numerals follow the same interrupted-stroke logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like aesthetic.
