A hard-edged, geometric stencil sans with straight-sided strokes and frequent chamfered corners. The letterforms are built from rigid verticals and horizontals with diagonal joins where needed, and the stencil breaks appear as small, consistent bridges and notches that create crisp internal gaps (notably in counters and curves). Proportions lean tall and compact, with narrow apertures and squared-off terminals; curves are simplified into faceted segments, giving rounded letters a cut, octagonal feel. Spacing reads relatively tight and uniform, supporting a dense, sign-like texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to signage, wayfinding-inspired graphics, packaging labels, and posters where an industrial stencil voice is desired. It performs best for headings, titles, and short blocks of copy, and can also work for UI or technical callouts when set at sizes that preserve the stencil gaps.
The overall tone is industrial and functional, evoking labeling, fabrication marks, and engineered systems. Its disciplined geometry and deliberate breaks feel authoritative and no-nonsense, with a mildly futuristic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust stencil look with clean geometry and predictable, repeatable breaks, prioritizing an engineered, reproducible feel over softness or calligraphic nuance.
The stencil interruptions are prominent enough to define the silhouette at display sizes, while the compact counters and small bridges can visually fill in at very small sizes or on low-resolution output. Numerals and uppercase forms share the same faceted construction, reinforcing a consistent, machined rhythm across mixed text.
