A monolinear, geometric sans with deliberate stencil breaks that segment bowls and crossbars into clean, consistent gaps. Strokes are straight and evenly weighted, with circular forms drawn from near-perfect arcs; several glyphs use split counters (e.g., O/Q/0/8) and interrupted horizontals (e.g., E/F/T/Z) to maintain the stencil logic. Terminals are crisp and squared-off, and diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y are sharply cut, giving the design a precise, engineered rhythm. Overall spacing reads open and airy, with clear separation between segments to preserve legibility at display sizes.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, titles, and identity work where the stencil breaks read as an intentional graphic feature. It can also work for packaging, wayfinding, and interface-style graphics when a technical, template-like aesthetic is desired.
The font conveys an industrial, system-built tone—cool, controlled, and technical. Its segmented construction and geometric discipline suggest machinery, templates, or sci‑fi interfaces rather than humanist warmth, creating a contemporary, utilitarian character.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans structure with a strong stencil mechanism, emphasizing reproducible, cut-out construction and a modern technical voice. The consistent gaps and simplified shapes aim to create immediate visual character while keeping forms readable.
The stencil bridges are prominent and stylistically consistent, producing distinctive silhouettes in both uppercase and lowercase while keeping counters recognizable. The numerals follow the same cut-and-bridge strategy, giving figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9 a schematic, sign-like feel that pairs well with the letterforms.
