A monoline geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and generous counters, built from clean verticals, sharp diagonals, and near-circular bowls. Many characters feature deliberate interruptions that create neat stencil bridges, giving the outlines a segmented, engineered feel while keeping the overall letterforms legible. Terminals are mostly squared or cleanly cut, with occasional curved joins that soften the geometry; spacing reads open and even, and the overall rhythm is airy and precise.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where the stencil details can read clearly at moderate to large sizes. It also works well for signage, packaging, and title treatments that benefit from a refined, geometric, cut-out aesthetic.
The tone is modernist and decorative at once—evoking Art Deco signage, technical labeling, and sleek retro-futurist branding. The broken strokes add a crafted, cut-out quality that feels architectural and display-oriented rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to combine a minimalist geometric foundation with stencil bridging for production-friendly, cut-letter styling and strong visual identity. It prioritizes clean structure and decorative breaks to create a distinctive display voice while maintaining readable proportions.
The stencil breaks are applied consistently across rounds and straights, producing a distinctive “segmented” silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same system, with rounded forms and sharp diagonal accents that keep the set visually coherent.
