A geometric, modular sans with crisp, straight-sided forms and consistent stroke weight. Many glyphs are segmented by deliberate vertical and horizontal breaks that create clean stencil bridges, producing a chopped, engineered look. Curves are simplified into sturdy arcs, terminals are blunt, and counters tend to be open and generously sized for clarity. Overall proportions feel steady and disciplined, with a uniform rhythm that keeps letters visually aligned and punchy across lines.
Best suited for display settings where the stencil texture can carry the design—posters, large headlines, product labeling, wayfinding, and industrial-themed branding. It can also work for short technical callouts or UI labeling when you want a mechanical, coded feel; for extended reading, the repeated segmentation is more of a stylistic statement than a neutral text voice.
The broken strokes and rigid construction give the typeface a functional, industrial tone—more like labeling, equipment marking, or schematic titling than expressive handwriting. It reads as controlled and systematic, with a slightly retro-futurist edge created by the repeated cutouts and modular geometry.
Likely designed to translate classic stencil construction into a clean, contemporary, modular alphabet with strong consistency across letters and figures. The aim appears to be high visual impact and a clear industrial signal, while maintaining straightforward letterforms that stay recognizable even with heavy segmentation.
The stencil gaps are frequent and highly regular, becoming a defining texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like appearance. In longer text, the repeated breaks create a distinctive stripe pattern that can become the main visual character.
