A geometric sans with conspicuous stencil breaks placed consistently through bowls, horizontals, and verticals. Strokes are mostly uniform, with sharp terminals and clean, straight-sided construction that favors circles and right angles over calligraphic modulation. Round letters (C, G, O, Q, e, o) read as near-circular forms interrupted by small bridges, while many straight letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) lean on simple, squared geometry. Spacing appears open and sturdy, and the overall rhythm is crisp and mechanical, with the stencil cuts becoming a key structural feature rather than a decorative afterthought.
Best suited to display contexts where the stencil breaks can read clearly—posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and environmental or industrial-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a technical, utilitarian voice is desired, but the segmented strokes make it most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The segmented forms give a functional, engineered tone reminiscent of labeling, equipment markings, and wayfinding. It feels pragmatic and assertive, with a slightly tactical/industrial edge driven by the repeated breaks and pared-back construction.
Likely designed to deliver a clear stencil identity with modern geometric proportions, balancing legibility with a deliberately interrupted stroke pattern that evokes manufacturing, marking, and engineered systems.
The stencil bridges are relatively narrow and consistently positioned, creating recognizable counters even at larger sizes while introducing a distinctive, coded visual texture. Uppercase forms feel especially emblematic and sign-like, while lowercase maintains the same modular language for cohesive text setting.
