A heavy, geometric sans with a modular build and consistent stencil breaks running through many verticals and bowls. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with squared terminals softened by subtle rounding that keeps counters open and shapes readable. Proportions lean broad with compact internal spaces, and the rhythm is steady and mechanical; diagonals and joins are simplified for a strong, poster-friendly silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same constructed logic, with deliberate cut-ins that emphasize the engineered, cut-out look.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and display settings where the stencil detailing can read clearly and contribute character. It works well for packaging, signage, and themed graphics that benefit from an industrial or technical voice, and can add a distinctive texture to short bursts of text.
The overall tone is industrial and technical, evoking cut metal, labeling systems, and utilitarian equipment markings. The stencil interruptions add a rugged, fabricated character, while the geometric consistency pushes it toward a modern, sci‑fi-adjacent feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust display sans that retains legibility while clearly expressing a fabricated stencil construction. Its consistent geometry and strong cuts suggest a focus on impactful, themed typography for modern industrial and tech-forward applications.
The stencil bridges are prominent enough to become a defining texture at text sizes, producing a patterned cadence across words. The heaviest shapes (round letters and numerals) showcase the breaks most clearly, giving headlines a distinctive, branded signature.
