A heavy, geometric sans with a pronounced stencil construction, built from broad strokes and consistent cutout bridges. Letterforms lean on simple circular and rectangular geometry, with rounded corners and smooth curves in bowls, contrasted by sharp joins in diagonals. The stencil breaks are clean and deliberate—often placed at cardinal points in rounds and at stress points in joins—creating a segmented rhythm without sacrificing overall legibility. Proportions read slightly expanded with generous counters and a sturdy baseline presence, while widths vary naturally between narrow stems (I, l) and broader rounds (O, Q), keeping the texture lively in text.
Best suited to display applications where the stencil breaks can be appreciated: posters, album or game titles, brand marks, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics. It also works well for short UI labels or section headers when a technical, industrial flavor is desired, but the strong cutout rhythm can become visually busy at very small sizes.
The tone is rugged and functional, evoking equipment labeling, industrial signage, and engineered interfaces. Its cutout detailing adds a tactical, fabricated feel—like sprayed lettering or laser-cut plates—while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. Overall it projects strength, control, and modern utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, fabricated stencil voice with consistent, engineered cutouts and a modern geometric backbone. It prioritizes impact and recognizability, aiming for a dependable industrial aesthetic that reads quickly while retaining character through its segmented construction.
Distinctive bridge placement is a defining feature, especially in round letters and numerals where breaks create a clear segmented ring. The numerals and uppercase have strong display presence, and the lowercase maintains the same constructed logic, giving paragraphs a consistent, patterned texture. The glyphs show minimal calligraphic influence, favoring a fabricated, modular look.
