A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and substantial stroke widths. Letterforms are built from broad, straight segments and simple curves, with consistent, intentional interruptions that create clean bridges and cut-outs. Counters tend to be compact, apertures are controlled, and terminals are mostly flat, producing a sturdy rhythm with strong black-and-white patterning. Lowercase echoes the uppercase construction, with simplified shapes and minimal detailing, emphasizing uniformity and punch in text.
Best suited to display uses where the cut-out construction can be appreciated: posters, bold editorial headlines, branding accents, packaging, and wayfinding or labeling. It also works for short UI or motion-graphics titles when a strong, engineered presence is desired, but extended small-size text may become visually busy due to the repeated internal breaks.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking stenciled labeling, equipment markings, and engineered graphics. The repeated breaks add a tactical, industrial feel while keeping the texture crisp and contemporary rather than distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a systematic stencil logic, combining geometric simplicity with a consistent set of bridges to suggest practical marking and industrial communication. It prioritizes unmistakable silhouette and graphic texture over delicate detailing.
The internal breaks are a defining motif across rounds (C, O, Q, S, 0, 6, 8, 9) and several straight-sided forms, creating distinctive negative-space slices that read well at larger sizes. In longer passages the stencil bridges introduce a pronounced stripe-like texture, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect the visual color.
