A heavy, modular sans built from large rectangular strokes with sharp chamfered corners and frequent internal cutouts. The letterforms feel assembled from solid blocks, with consistent stencil-like breaks that create strong negative shapes and a segmented rhythm across the alphabet. Geometry is predominantly orthogonal with occasional diagonal notches and slashes (notably in letters like N, S, W, X, and Z), giving the face a technical, machined character. Counters are compact and often squared-off, while spacing reads tight and dense in text, emphasizing a continuous band of black with controlled openings.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where the stencil segmentation can be read clearly, such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging panels, and environmental or wayfinding signage. It can also work for short UI labels or titles in tech and game contexts, but the dense, blocky rhythm is less suited to long-form small text.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone with a hint of sci‑fi and engineering aesthetics. Its repeated breaks and slabby mass suggest labeling, equipment markings, and rugged signage, creating an assertive and no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, impact-forward sans with a stencil/industrial construction, balancing strong rectangular masses with deliberate internal breaks to add texture and a coded, mechanical feel.
The stencil interruptions are integrated into both uppercase and lowercase, making the lowercase feel like a companion set rather than a softened variant. Numerals follow the same segmented construction, maintaining consistency for coded or display-driven compositions.
