A geometric sans with consistent stroke thickness and frequent, deliberate breaks that create a stencil-like construction. Forms are built from simple circles, straight stems, and sharp diagonals, with minimal modulation and largely squared terminals. Many letters feature vertical split points and small bridges (notably in round characters like O/Q and in E/F), producing a segmented rhythm while keeping counters open and legible. Proportions skew toward clean, engineered shapes with generous interior space and straightforward, schematic curves.
Best suited to display contexts where the broken-stroke construction is a feature: signage, wayfinding, labels, posters, and brand marks that want an engineered or industrial voice. It can work in short-to-medium text at larger sizes, where the stencil bridges remain distinct and contribute to the texture without reducing readability.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, like labeling found on equipment, wayfinding, or fabricated signage. The repeated cut-ins and bridges add a constructed, machined character that reads modern and slightly futuristic rather than decorative.
Designed to deliver a clean geometric sans structure while integrating purposeful stencil interruptions for practical, fabricated, or system-oriented aesthetics. The consistent monoline construction and repeated bridging suggest an intention toward reproducible forms—useful for cut, painted, or applied lettering—while maintaining a contemporary, minimal look.
The stencil breaks are applied consistently enough to function as a unifying motif, but vary in placement by glyph, giving the alphabet a modular, assembled feel. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, with circular figures (0, 8, 9) clearly showing split construction.
