A geometric sans with stencil interruptions that create small bridges and cut-ins throughout bowls and verticals. Strokes are largely monoline and straight-sided, with circular forms built from clean arcs and frequent vertical breaks (notably in O/Q/0 and rounded lowercase). Terminals are blunt and the construction feels modular, with occasional angled joins that add a mechanical rhythm. Spacing reads fairly open and consistent, giving the face strong clarity at display sizes while maintaining a compact, engineered silhouette.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and short statements where the stencil pattern can be a graphic feature. It fits industrial branding, product labels, wayfinding, and packaging that benefit from a tough, technical voice. Use with care in small body text, where the internal breaks can become visually busy.
The overall tone is utilitarian and equipment-like, evoking labeling, machinery, and rugged signage. The repeated gaps introduce a coded, technical feel that can read as tactical or sci‑fi, while the simple geometry keeps it direct and modern.
Designed to deliver a bold stencil aesthetic with clean geometric construction, balancing practicality with a distinctive, coded texture. The consistent bridge logic suggests an emphasis on reproducible, sign-paint or cut-stencil inspired forms while remaining contemporary and crisp.
The stencil cuts are applied systematically across the alphabet, producing distinctive counters and a recognizable texture in running text. Round characters and numerals carry the strongest stencil signature, which becomes a key part of the face’s identity when set in larger sizes.
