A monoline, geometric sans with deliberate stencil breaks that create small bridges in bowls, stems, and cross-strokes. Curves are near-circular and cleanly drawn, while diagonals and joins stay crisp, giving the design a modular, constructed feel. Counters are generally open and simple, with minimal modulation and a steady rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Distinctive breaks appear consistently in characters like O/Q/0 and in select horizontals, reinforcing the stencil logic without heavy texture.
Best suited to display applications where the stencil bridges can be appreciated—posters, titles, brand marks, packaging panels, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics. It also works well for tech or industrial-themed interfaces and motion graphics where a precise, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered, combining a contemporary, sci‑fi edge with an industrial signage sensibility. The stencil interruptions add a utilitarian, coded look—suggesting machinery labels, aerospace markings, or digital interfaces rather than casual editorial typography.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with unmistakable stencil construction, creating a distinctive themed voice that remains legible while signaling utility and modernity.
Several forms lean toward stylized geometry (notably the V/W/X diagonals and the circular glyphs), producing a sharp, branded presence. The stencil gaps are placed to read clearly at display sizes, where the bridges become a defining detail rather than noise.
