A monolinear sans with geometric construction and consistent stroke weight, distinguished by deliberate breaks that act as stencil bridges. Curves are clean and near-circular (notably in O/Q/C), while verticals and horizontals stay straight and crisp, producing a tidy, engineered rhythm. Terminals are generally squared-off, and several letters use small gaps at key junctions (such as bowls, shoulders, and crossbars), creating a segmented silhouette without feeling distressed. Spacing and proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with clear counters and a restrained, systematic cadence across both upper- and lowercase as well as figures.
Works well for headlines, posters, and branding that wants a precise, engineered voice, as well as signage and environmental graphics where a fabricated or cut-out aesthetic is desirable. It can also fit packaging and tech-forward editorial callouts, particularly at sizes large enough to keep the stencil bridges clearly legible.
The overall tone is modern and technical, with an architectural, drafting-like flavor. The controlled interruptions in the strokes add a utilitarian, fabricated feel—suggesting cut metal, labeling systems, or industrial wayfinding—while the clean geometry keeps it sleek rather than rugged.
Likely designed to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with a purposeful stencil logic, creating a contemporary display face that evokes industrial production and wayfinding while remaining visually disciplined and easy to set in short to medium text blocks.
The stencil breaks are applied consistently enough to read as a design system rather than random fragmentation, and they tend to appear at structurally meaningful points (joins and potential cut-lines). Numerals and capitals appear especially suited to bold, high-contrast display situations where the segmented forms can be appreciated at a glance.
