A geometric, monolinear sans with consistent stroke thickness and crisp, hard terminals. The defining feature is a systematic set of stencil breaks—typically narrow vertical or horizontal gaps—applied across curves and stems, creating clear bridges while keeping counters open. Proportions are clean and contemporary, with mostly circular bowls and straightforward construction; diagonals are sharp and even, and spacing reads steady in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, maintaining a coherent rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to applications that benefit from a stenciled, industrial voice: signage and wayfinding systems, product labeling, packaging, and bold editorial or poster headlines. It also works for tech-leaning branding and identity work where a clean sans is desired but with a more mechanical, fabricated edge.
The broken strokes give the face an industrial, engineered tone—evoking labeling, equipment markings, and architectural wayfinding. It feels functional and disciplined rather than decorative, with a slightly assertive, no-nonsense presence that reads as modern and technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary sans framework with clearly engineered stencil breaks, balancing practical readability with a distinctive segmented signature. The consistent construction across letters and numerals suggests a focus on system-like cohesion for display and labeling contexts.
The stencil joins are prominent enough to be a core stylistic identifier, especially in round forms and across mid-strokes, which produces a distinctive “cut” texture in text blocks. The overall drawing stays legible at display sizes, while the repeated interruptions add visual activity that can become a strong pattern in longer settings.
