A condensed oblique sans with clean, low-contrast strokes and a tall lowercase structure. Many glyphs are intentionally interrupted by sharp stencil-like breaks that create small bridges and slits, producing a segmented rhythm without adding stroke modulation. Curves are tightened and slightly squared in places, terminals tend to be clipped or tapered, and counters stay open and streamlined. Numerals follow the same narrow, forward-leaning construction with clear breaks in key joints, keeping the texture consistent across text.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and brand marks that want an industrial or technical voice, especially where the stencil texture can be a feature rather than a distraction. It can also work for packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style graphics when set at sizes that keep the breaks clear and legible.
The overall tone is industrial and technical, with a sleek, fast-leaning posture that reads as modern and purposeful. The stencil interruptions add a hint of toughness and engineered precision, giving headlines a slightly edgy, utilitarian character.
The design appears intended to merge a condensed italic sans structure with purposeful stencil interruptions, creating a contemporary, engineered look that remains readable while adding a distinctive broken-stroke signature.
The forward slant and compact width create a strong directional flow, while the repeated internal breaks can become a dominant pattern at smaller sizes. In longer lines, the segmented strokes add visual interest but also increase the perceived texture, making the font feel more display-oriented than purely neutral.
