An angular, geometric sans with pronounced stencil breaks and consistent, straight-sided strokes. Corners are sharply chamfered, curves are reduced to faceted segments, and bowls are built from octagonal-like geometry, producing tight counters and a crisp, engineered rhythm. Proportions lean compact and slightly condensed, with tall ascenders/uppercase and relatively simple, vertical stems. Numerals and key letters (notably 0/O/Q and 6/8/9) emphasize cut-in notches and internal bridges that keep shapes rigid and modular.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and logotypes where the stencil geometry can be appreciated, and for industrial or tech-forward branding elements such as signage, packaging, labels, and UI headers. It can work for short blocks of text when set large with generous tracking, but it is most compelling as a display face.
The overall tone is industrial and tactical, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and engineered systems. Its hard angles and stenciled interruptions feel functional and assertive rather than friendly, with a controlled, machined character that reads as durable and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust stenciled look with clean, modern geometry—optimized for a cut-out or marked-on-surface impression while staying visually consistent across the character set.
The heavy use of diagonal cuts and internal bridges creates distinctive silhouettes at display sizes, but the same notches can visually fragment smaller text. The design maintains a consistent geometric logic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like appearance.
