A heavy, geometric sans with a modular build and crisp, squared terminals. The design is defined by consistent stencil breaks—typically narrow vertical or horizontal interruptions—placed through bowls and stems, creating a strong rhythm of bridges across the alphabet and figures. Curves are broadly rounded but remain tightly controlled, with uniform stroke weight and compact counters that keep the silhouettes dense. Overall spacing reads even and purposeful, and the forms favor straightforward construction over calligraphic nuance.
Best suited for headlines and short copy where the stencil detailing can be seen clearly, such as posters, branding lockups, packaging, and label-style graphics. It also works well for signage and wayfinding with an industrial or technical brief, especially when high contrast against the background is available.
The stencil interruptions and blunt, engineered shapes give the face a pragmatic, equipment-like tone. It suggests industrial labeling and technical signage, with a slightly retro, poster-stencil character that feels assertive and no-nonsense. The visual voice is direct and functional, leaning more toward utility and impact than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, legible stencil aesthetic with a clean, geometric foundation. Its consistent bridge placement and sturdy construction prioritize reproducibility and a branded, industrial texture across both text and numerals.
The stencil logic is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing strong identification shapes while maintaining a cohesive texture in paragraphs. The weight and compact internal spaces make it most confident at display sizes, where the bridges read as intentional detail rather than noise.
