A geometric sans built from consistent stroke widths and round-rect geometry, featuring deliberate interruptions where strokes would normally connect. Many curves and junctions are “broken” by small vertical or horizontal gaps, producing a segmented, stencil-like construction while keeping overall letterforms clean and legible. Bowls tend toward circular forms, terminals are mostly blunt, and the rhythm is steady with a slightly engineered, assembled feel across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the segmented construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and product/system labeling. It can also work for UI or wayfinding accents when a technical, fabricated look is desired, rather than for dense body text.
The cut-and-join detailing gives the type a technical, industrial tone—like lettering designed for systems, labeling, or fabricated objects. It reads modern and utilitarian, with a subtle sci‑fi/techno flavor created by the repeated notches and separated strokes.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a neutral geometric sans through systematic cut-outs, creating a distinctive voice without adding decorative flourishes. The consistent, repeated segmentation suggests an aim for an engineered, stencil-adjacent aesthetic that remains structurally clear and broadly readable.
Distinctive breaks appear consistently in key structural areas (spines, crossbars, and bowls), creating strong interior negative shapes and a recognizable texture in text. The numerals echo the same segmented logic, with the zero and eight especially emphasizing the interrupted circular construction.
