A heavy, geometric display face built from monoline strokes with consistent, stencil-like breaks. Forms are predominantly squared and vertical, with rounded internal corners and blunt terminals that create a compact, blocky silhouette. The defining feature is the repeated set of narrow counters and bridges—often a vertical slit or short horizontal gap—cut through bowls and stems, producing a modular rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Curves (C, O, S, 0) read as squared ovals with controlled rounding, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L, T) feel rigid and engineered.
Best suited for bold headlines, poster titling, brand marks, labels, and signage where an industrial or marked-stencil flavor is desired. It can also work for short UI labels, game/tech graphics, or packaging callouts, provided sizes are large enough to keep the internal breaks legible.
The repeated cutouts and dense black mass give a utilitarian, industrial tone reminiscent of stenciled marking, machinery labeling, and retro-futuristic graphics. It feels assertive and mechanical, with a slightly playful, arcade-like edge due to the consistent slot-like breaks and simplified geometry.
Designed to deliver a forceful, graphic presence while preserving a deliberate stenciled construction through consistent bridges and cutouts. The geometry and repetition suggest an intention toward systematic, easily recognizable shapes that read as engineered and iconic in display contexts.
The stencil breaks are integrated as a signature motif rather than incidental gaps, so the texture stays uniform even in longer text. Numerals mirror the same bridge logic, helping codes and headlines maintain a cohesive, marked-up look. The overall color is strong and attention-grabbing, favoring display use where the internal cuts can remain clear.
