A geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and sharp, clean edges, defined by purposeful breaks that create stencil-like bridges. Curves are broadly circular (notably in O/Q/C/G), while verticals and horizontals stay straight and rigid, giving the face a modular, engineered feel. The cut-ins are applied systematically across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing open counters and segmented bowls without appearing distressed; overall spacing reads even and the texture remains clear at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where its stencil breaks read as an intentional graphic device: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a technical, industrial accent is desired, but the repeated interruptions may reduce comfort in long-form text.
The repeated gaps and precise geometry convey an industrial, technical tone—efficient and contemporary rather than decorative. Its rhythm feels coded and mechanical, lending a controlled, utilitarian character suited to modern systems and graphic environments.
Designed to deliver a clean stencil aesthetic with modern geometric construction, balancing legibility with a strong, systemized visual motif. The consistent placement of bridges suggests an intention to feel engineered and reproducible, like labeling, wayfinding, or product marking.
Distinctive mid-stroke interruptions become the primary signature, creating strong internal negative shapes (especially in rounded letters and figures). The numeral set follows the same logic with segmented forms, reinforcing a cohesive, sign-like voice across the character set.
