A heavy, modular sans with squared geometry and prominent stencil breaks throughout the strokes. Letters are built from straight segments with rounded outside corners and abrupt internal cut-ins, creating a segmented, engineered rhythm. Counters tend to be rectangular and partially opened by bridges, and several forms incorporate small gaps that read as functional cut lines rather than decoration. Overall spacing feels sturdy and display-oriented, with simple, blocky construction and consistent stroke thickness across the set.
Best suited for display applications where the stencil texture can be appreciated: posters, titles, logotypes, product packaging, and signage-style graphics. It also works well for fictional UI/HUD treatments, game art, and industrial-themed branding where a mechanical, labeled look is desired.
The font conveys an industrial, tactical tone—evoking machinery markings, equipment labeling, and sci‑fi interface graphics. Its broken strokes and notched terminals add a sense of utility and ruggedness, giving text an assertive, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to merge a robust geometric sans foundation with clear stencil bridges, producing a utilitarian face that reads like cut metal or sprayed markings. Its modular construction prioritizes graphic impact and a consistent industrial texture over neutrality in long-form text.
The stencil joins are visually strong and frequent, producing distinctive texture in running text where gaps create a patterned cadence. Diagonal-heavy characters (like V, W, X, Y) retain the same segmented logic, keeping the system cohesive even as widths vary from glyph to glyph.
