A monoline, geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and sharp, clean terminals. The forms are constructed from straight segments and simple curves, with frequent stencil breaks that create clear bridges through bowls and counters. Proportions lean compact and efficient, with sturdy verticals and simplified diagonals; round letters (O, Q, C, G) read as engineered shapes rather than calligraphic curves. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with single-storey a and g, and numerals that echo the same segmented, cut-in construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited for display typography where the stencil cuts can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding lockups, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style graphics. It also fits UI accents and section headers when used at larger sizes, where the segmented details remain clear.
The stencil interruptions and engineered geometry give the type a pragmatic, industrial voice—precise, functional, and slightly tactical. It evokes labeling, fabricated surfaces, and equipment markings, while staying clean enough to feel contemporary and designed rather than distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver a crisp stencil aesthetic with a modern, geometric backbone—prioritizing fast recognition, consistent rhythm, and a manufactured, label-like character across letters and numbers.
The stencil bridges are applied consistently across the character set, often cutting through key structural strokes, which boosts recognizability at display sizes and adds a distinctive rhythm in words. The overall texture is bold and graphic without relying on contrast, making the shapes feel solid and signage-oriented.
