A geometric sans with crisp, monoline strokes and consistent stencil breaks that create clear bridges through bowls and terminals. Forms are built from simple circles and straight stems, with squared-off ends and sharp joins that keep edges clean and mechanical. Counters tend to be open and generous, while repeated mid-stroke gaps (notably in round letters and some lowercase) establish a strong, rhythmic pattern across the alphabet. Overall proportions read steady and compact, with sturdy verticals and clear, simple punctuation-like cuts that reinforce the stencil construction.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil breaks are a feature: posters, logotypes, packaging, and product labeling. It also works well for signage and wayfinding-style graphics, especially in tech, industrial, or outdoor-themed applications where a robust, marked look is desirable.
The font conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone—evoking labeling, equipment markings, and engineered systems. Its repeated breaks add a coded, tactical flavor without becoming overly distressed, keeping the mood controlled and contemporary. The result feels practical and assertive, with a slightly futuristic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean stencil aesthetic with modern, geometric construction—prioritizing strong recognition at a distance and a consistent system of bridges that reads as purposeful rather than decorative. It aims for a versatile “marked/encoded” look that stays neat and contemporary across letters and figures.
Round glyphs (like O/Q/0) emphasize the stencil idea with prominent internal bridges, and the numerals inherit the same cut logic for a cohesive set. The angled treatment in several diagonals (e.g., V/W/X/Y) adds crisp energy, while the lowercase maintains legibility through simplified shapes and consistent gap placement.
