A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, near-monoline strokes. Many letters feature deliberate vertical cut-ins that create stencil-like breaks through bowls and counters, giving the forms a segmented, engineered feel. Curves are largely circular or softly squared, while joins are clean and minimally modulated; several diagonals are sharply chamfered for a crisp, constructed rhythm. The overall texture is dense and even, with compact counters and strong silhouette clarity in large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where the stencil segmentation can act as a recognizable visual hook. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from a robust, industrial presence and clear letterforms at medium to large sizes.
The repeated cut marks and rigid geometry evoke an industrial, sci‑fi, and machinery-oriented tone. It reads as confident and utilitarian, suggesting signage, hardware, or tech branding where a deliberate “manufactured” character is desirable.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward sans foundation with a consistent stencil/slot motif, producing a distinctive, high-impact voice while keeping overall letter construction familiar. The goal seems to be visual identity and attitude—mechanical, modern, and bold—more than neutrality.
The stencil interruptions appear consistently across both uppercase and lowercase, including rounded forms and some numerals, creating a distinctive internal pattern that remains legible but intentionally stylized. The design favors bold mass and simple shapes over delicate detail, making it feel most at home in display contexts rather than long-form text.
