A monolinear, wide-set sans with sturdy, squared-off terminals and an even, mechanical rhythm. The letterforms are built from simple geometric strokes, then interrupted by consistent internal cut-ins that read like inline channels or carved notches through the black shapes. Round letters (C, O, Q, e, o) are compact and nearly circular, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, L, T) stay blocky and rigid; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are clean and symmetrical. Numerals are similarly robust and open, keeping the same chunky proportions and internal interruptions for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to display typography where the inline carving can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and product or equipment-style labeling. It can work for short, attention-grabbing text blocks, but the interior cut-ins make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The inline cut-throughs give the face a tool-made, engineered feel—part lab label, part stamped hardware, with a playful retro-tech edge. It reads confident and utilitarian rather than elegant, adding visual interest through its carved interior detailing instead of delicate stroke modulation.
Likely designed to merge a straightforward, utilitarian skeleton with a distinctive inline interruption that adds character without changing the overall weight or stance. The goal appears to be a dependable, monospaced rhythm with a signature ‘machined’ detail that differentiates it in branding and display contexts.
The internal channels vary by glyph, creating a distinctive ‘punched’ or ‘machined’ pattern that becomes especially noticeable in longer text. Counters remain readable, but the decorative cut-ins add busyness that will dominate at smaller sizes, while at display sizes they become the main personality cue.
