A geometric, monoline sans with deliberate stencil breaks throughout the strokes. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle curves and straight segments, with squared terminals and consistent stroke thickness. The design uses repeated internal gaps (notably in bowls and cross-strokes) that create a segmented, modular rhythm while keeping counters fairly open. Proportions run on the wider side, and the overall silhouette feels engineered and systematic rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display use where the stencil breaks and modular geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, labels, and wayfinding or product-marking inspired graphics. It can work for short UI labels or section headers when set with generous spacing, but the segmented details are most effective at medium to large sizes.
The segmented construction and recurring bridges give the face an industrial, technical tone with a mildly sci‑fi edge. It reads as mechanical and controlled, suggesting machinery markings, fabricated signage, and modern utilitarian graphics.
The font appears designed to blend a clean geometric sans foundation with unmistakable stencil mechanics, creating a contemporary face that signals fabrication, technology, and industrial styling while remaining structured and legible.
Distinctive stencil bridges appear in many key structures (bowls, crossbars, and diagonals), producing a strong pattern at headline sizes. The repeated breaks add personality but can become visually busy in dense settings, especially where multiple gaps align across a line of text.
