A geometric sans with squared counters and blunt terminals, built from solid strokes interrupted by consistent stencil bridges. The forms feel modular and engineered, with round letters (C, O, G) constructed from near-circular arcs and straighter joins, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y) are crisp and angular. Horizontal breaks often occur through the midline, producing a strong banded rhythm across words and a distinctive, grid-like texture in running text. Numerals mirror the same segmented construction, keeping counters open and shapes compact and stable.
Best suited to display sizes where the stencil breaks are clearly legible and can function as a graphic motif—posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and brand marks with an industrial or technical theme. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is industrial and technical, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and engineered surfaces. The repeated mid-stroke interruptions add a coded, mechanical flavor that reads as modern and utilitarian rather than expressive or calligraphic.
Likely designed to deliver a clean geometric sans structure while emphasizing stencil construction for practical, fabricated, or system-like aesthetics. The consistent bridge placement suggests an intention to create a recognizable texture that remains orderly and readable across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The stencil bridges are prominent enough to become a defining texture, especially in lowercase and in rounded glyphs where the breaks read like alignment marks. In dense settings, the horizontal segmentation can visually connect across a line, creating a strong stripe effect that becomes part of the graphic identity.
