A chunky, geometric sans with broad strokes and rounded corners, built from simplified, mostly monoline shapes. Clear stencil breaks appear consistently through bowls, joints, and terminals, creating distinct bridges and a segmented silhouette. Curves are circular and open, while straight strokes are firm and vertical, giving the design a sturdy rhythm. Counters are relatively generous for the weight, though the intentional gaps and tight inner spaces in letters like S, a, and e create a busy texture at smaller sizes.
Works best for short, high-impact settings such as posters, display headlines, packaging, product labels, and environmental signage where the stencil breaks enhance character. It is also well-suited to numbering, serial-like identifiers, and branding for industrial or tech-adjacent themes. For long passages, larger sizes and generous tracking help preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels industrial and functional, with a coded, equipment-marking character that suggests durability and purpose. The repeated breaks add a tactical, engineered flavor that reads as modern signage or manufacturing rather than editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged stencil look with softened geometry—combining industrial marking cues with a contemporary, rounded construction for strong, graphic display use.
The stencil logic varies between letters (some use central splits, others use small notch-like cuts), which adds visual interest but also increases patterning in continuous text. Numerals follow the same segmented construction, keeping the set cohesive for labeling and identifiers.
