A serif stencil with clean, monolinear strokes and sharply cut terminals. Letterforms are built from classical proportions but interrupted by consistent bridges that create open counters and segmented bowls, producing a precise, machined rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, with straight stems and calmly rounded curves; the joins and breaks feel systematically placed rather than distressed. Numerals and capitals read particularly structured, while the lowercase keeps a tidy, bookish skeleton with stencil separations integrated into key strokes.
Well suited to display settings where the stencil structure can be appreciated: posters, titles, branding, and packaging that want a precise industrial accent. It can also work for signage and labels where a fabricated, cut-out look is desirable, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and architectural—like labeling, drafting, or engineered signage—while retaining a lightly classical, editorial poise from its serif construction. The stencil breaks add a utilitarian, fabricated character that suggests metal plates, cut vinyl, or painted markings.
Likely designed to merge a traditional serif foundation with a systematic stencil construction, delivering a refined but utilitarian voice. The goal appears to be clear readability combined with a distinctive, engineered presence for thematic and display-driven typography.
Spacing appears even and intentional, helping the segmented strokes stay legible in text. Several glyphs emphasize circular forms with visible interior gaps, reinforcing the stencil logic and giving the face a distinctive, crafted silhouette at larger sizes.
