A heavy, geometric sans with rounded outside corners and frequent horizontal breaks that create a stencil-like, segmented construction. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with squared terminals and occasional notch-like cut-ins that add a slightly mechanical, ink-trap feel. Counters are compact and simplified, and many forms rely on flat bars and broad curves, giving the alphabet a modular rhythm. Overall spacing and proportions read as display-oriented, with sturdy silhouettes and a deliberately engineered, cut-out appearance.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its stencil segmentation can act as a graphic device. It works well for posters, product branding, packaging, and bold signage, especially in themes involving industry, technology, or retro modernism. For dense copy, the internal cutouts may become visually busy, so larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The segmented joins and stout shapes evoke an industrial, utilitarian tone with a retro-futurist edge. It feels technical and purposeful—like labeling, machinery markings, or sci-fi interface type—while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, high-impact sans with a built-in stencil/segmented motif, prioritizing recognizable silhouettes and a strong texture on the line. The consistent breaks and rounded geometry suggest an intention to balance rugged, industrial cues with a clean, contemporary structure.
The recurring mid-stroke gaps are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a strong signature texture in text. In paragraphs the internal breaks become a prominent pattern, so the face reads best when that graphic texture is desirable rather than invisible.
