A monoline, geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and a distinctly segmented construction. Many glyphs feature intentional breaks that create small bridges and open joins, giving curves and bowls a cut, modular feel. Proportions are compact and tidy with simple terminals, rounded corners on several curved forms, and crisp straight stems; overall spacing reads even and controlled in text.
Best suited to display contexts where the segmented details can be appreciated: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics. It can work for short UI labels or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes, where the breaks remain clear and intentional.
The broken-stroke rhythm lends an industrial, engineered tone—clean and contemporary, with a subtle sci‑fi/wayfinding flavor. It feels systematic and deliberate rather than expressive, projecting precision and modernity.
Designed to blend a clean geometric sans foundation with purposeful interruptions that evoke fabricated lettering and cut-out forms. The goal appears to be a distinctive, modern display voice that remains legible while adding an industrial, constructed texture.
The stencil-like interruptions are frequent but restrained, so counters remain open and letterforms stay recognizable. In running text, the repeating gaps introduce a light texture that becomes part of the font’s visual identity, especially noticeable in round letters and numerals.
