A heavy, geometric sans with rounded corners and deliberate stencil-like breaks that slice through bowls and terminals. Strokes are broadly uniform, with squared-off ends and occasional diagonal joins that give letters a constructed, modular feel. Counters tend to be compact and often partially interrupted by the cutouts, creating a strong black mass and a distinctive internal rhythm. The design reads cleanly at large sizes, where the engineered details and notches become a defining feature.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and brand marks where its stencil cuts and dense geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging, labels, and tech-themed graphics where a fabricated, industrial voice is desired, while extended small-size text will benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The overall tone is tech-forward and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and machine-made signage. The repeated cutouts and blocky silhouettes feel systematic and coded, lending an assertive, modern edge that is more display-driven than neutral.
The font appears designed to modernize a geometric sans foundation with a consistent stencil interruption system, prioritizing a constructed, machine-like aesthetic over purely neutral legibility. Its goal is to deliver immediate visual identity through bold silhouettes, rounded-square geometry, and repeatable cut motifs.
Many glyphs share consistent internal “bridges” (notably in round forms like C/G/O/Q and in S), which creates a cohesive stencil system across the alphabet and numerals. The effect increases character but can reduce letter differentiation at smaller sizes, especially where apertures are tight.
