A geometric sans with deliberate stencil breaks cut into the strokes, creating consistent bridges and clean negative shapes across both caps and lowercase. The construction is largely monoline and upright, with simple, engineered curves and straight terminals that keep the texture even in longer lines. Circular forms (like O, Q, and 0) are split with vertical gaps, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sharply joined and maintain a precise, mechanical rhythm. Numerals follow the same logic, with purposeful separations that preserve recognition while emphasizing the stencil structure.
Best suited to display contexts where the stencil detailing can be appreciated—posters, titles, visual identities, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics. It can work for short text settings and pull quotes, though the repeated breaks will create a pronounced texture in dense paragraphs.
The overall tone feels industrial and system-like, combining a modernist clarity with a subtly sci‑fi, technical edge. The repeated breaks read as functional and fabricated, suggesting signage, marking, or machine-applied lettering rather than expressive handwriting.
The design appears intended to merge straightforward geometric letterforms with unmistakable stencil mechanics, delivering a practical, manufactured aesthetic that still reads clean and contemporary. The consistent bridging suggests a focus on repeatable, modular shapes that hold up in bold graphic applications.
The stencil cuts are prominent enough to be a defining feature, producing a distinctive cadence in running text and a strong graphic identity at larger sizes. Counters remain fairly open, and the consistent stroke behavior helps maintain legibility despite the interruptions.
