A geometric, monolinear stencil with deliberately broken strokes and small, consistent bridges that create crisp gaps through bowls and terminals. Forms are built from straight stems and clean arcs, with frequent squared cutoffs and occasional diagonal shears that emphasize a constructed, modular feel. Counters are often opened by the stencil cuts, and the overall rhythm stays even and airy, keeping text readable while maintaining a distinctly segmented silhouette.
Works best for display applications such as posters, headlines, brand marks, packaging, and wayfinding where the stencil breaks can read as intentional detailing. It can also suit tech-themed UI accents or product labeling when used at sizes large enough for the bridges and gaps to remain clear.
The broken strokes and engineered geometry give the face a technical, industrial tone with a subtle sci‑fi edge. It feels utilitarian and coded—more like labeling and instrumentation than traditional book typography—while still carrying a sleek, contemporary polish.
Likely intended to merge a classic stencil construction with a contemporary geometric skeleton, delivering an industrial voice without heavy weight or ornament. The consistent segmentation appears designed to add character and thematic emphasis while keeping letterforms orderly and legible in short-to-medium text settings.
Distinctive stencil interruptions recur across both capitals and lowercase, creating recognizable shapes at display sizes. Numerals and uppercase letters show especially strong structural cuts, producing high visual interest in headings and short strings.
