A geometric, monoline sans with consistent stroke thickness and pronounced stencil breaks that create clear bridges through stems, bowls, and counters. Curves are built from broad circular arcs with flat cut-ins where the stencil gaps occur, producing a segmented rhythm across round letters and numerals. Proportions feel balanced and fairly compact, with simple, straight-sided construction on forms like E, F, H, and N, and slightly tapered diagonals on characters such as A, V, W, X, and Y. Terminals are square and crisp, and the overall drawing favors clean, engineered shapes over calligraphic modulation.
Works best for display settings where the stencil construction can be appreciated: posters, headlines, logos/wordmarks, product branding, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also suit interface labels or technical graphics when used at comfortable sizes with ample spacing, where the stencil gaps remain clear.
The repeated breaks and precise geometry give the face an industrial, technical tone—suggesting labeling, fabrication, and engineered systems. Its visual voice is modern and utilitarian, with a slightly futuristic edge created by the consistent segmentation through key strokes.
The design appears intended to merge clean geometric sans proportions with a robust stencil mechanism, creating an industrial display face that feels engineered and reproducible. The consistent breaks and crisp terminals suggest an emphasis on functional, label-like clarity paired with a distinctive, modern pattern.
The stencil bridges are applied systematically enough to keep letters recognizable while introducing a distinctive pattern, especially in round forms (C, G, O, Q) and in numerals where gaps act as strong identifiers. At larger sizes the segmented construction reads as a deliberate graphic feature; at smaller sizes the interior breaks may become the dominant detail.
