A monolinear sans with distinctive stencil-like interruptions that create small breaks and notches in many strokes. Forms are largely geometric with rounded curves, straight-sided bowls, and simplified terminals, producing a clean, constructed rhythm. The cut-ins often occur near joins or at cardinal points on curves, giving counters a segmented, engineered look while keeping overall letter shapes familiar and readable. Spacing and proportions feel contemporary and steady, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal contrast.
Well-suited to display contexts where the stencil/segmented detail can be appreciated: product labeling, packaging, wayfinding-style signage, posters, and brand marks that want a technical edge. It can also work for UI titles or dashboard headings, where the engineered construction supports a modern, functional voice.
The repeated cut-out detailing lends a pragmatic, industrial tone—more like labeling, fabrication, or interface lettering than expressive handwriting. It reads as modern and technical, with a subtle sci‑fi/utility flavor that feels systematic rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge an everyday sans structure with a consistent system of cut-outs, evoking stencil manufacturing and modular construction. The goal seems to be a recognizable, practical alphabet that still carries a distinctive, industrial signature.
Several glyphs show purposeful gaps on curves (e.g., round letters and numerals) and occasional angular notches on verticals, reinforcing a cohesive ‘interrupted stroke’ motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The effect is strong enough to define the style, but restrained enough to remain legible in short text samples.
