A geometric, monolinear sans with squared proportions and rounded outer corners, built from straight segments that mimic curved forms through faceted construction. Most glyphs feature deliberate horizontal breaks—like stencil bridges—cutting through bowls and counters, creating a segmented, modular rhythm. Strokes are heavy and consistent, terminals are blunt, and curves are largely replaced by chamfers and short planar edges. Letterforms feel compact and engineered, with tight inner spaces and a strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its segmented construction can be appreciated: headlines, poster typography, game/UI titling, tech or industrial branding, and packaging or labels. It can work for large text blocks as a stylistic choice, but the stencil-like breaks and tight counters may reduce comfort at small sizes.
The segmented cuts and faceted geometry give the font a distinctly technical, industrial tone, evoking display lettering found on machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, or tactical labeling. It reads as assertive and utilitarian rather than friendly, with a controlled, mechanical cadence.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans foundation with a faceted, engineered construction and stencil interruptions, creating a distinctive voice that feels manufactured and futuristic. The consistent segmentation across glyphs suggests a system-driven concept focused on texture and recognizability in display contexts.
The repeated midline gaps become a defining texture in words, producing a striped effect across lines of text. The uppercase set appears especially blocky and architectural, while the lowercase retains the same constructed logic, keeping the overall voice consistent. Numerals follow the same segmented approach, reinforcing the system-like aesthetic.
