A geometric, constructed sans with heavy, even strokes and crisp, hard terminals. The design is defined by deliberate stencil breaks: many vertical and curved strokes are split with consistent bridges, creating a segmented rhythm while keeping counters open and legibility intact. Curves are broad and near-circular (notably in O/C/G and numerals), while diagonals are sharp and stable; joins stay clean and unbracketed. Proportions feel compact and engineered, with squared-off bowls and a generally modular, cut-from-sheet look across letters and figures.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil construction can be read as a feature: posters, bold headlines, logotypes, packaging, and environmental graphics. It also works well for technical or industrial-themed branding and for short UI labels or badges where a rugged, fabricated feel is desired.
The overall tone reads industrial and technical—like labeling on equipment, wayfinding, or fabricated signage. The repeated breaks add a coded, engineered character that feels pragmatic and slightly militaristic without becoming decorative. It conveys toughness and clarity, emphasizing function and structure.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with practical stencil construction, producing a bold, cut-out aesthetic that stays readable and systematized. Its consistent breaks and modular shapes suggest a focus on reproducible, signage-ready forms and a strong industrial voice.
The stencil logic is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a strong visual system in text. The bridges are wide enough to remain visible at display sizes and still hold together in lines of copy, giving a distinctive, segmented texture. The figures appear designed to match the same modular geometry, making alphanumeric strings look cohesive.
