A monolinear, geometric sans with deliberate breaks that create a consistent stenciled construction across both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are built from clean arcs with small, repeated bridges, while straight strokes stay crisp and even, producing an airy rhythm and strong negative-shape patterning. Proportions feel tall and streamlined, with round letters tending toward near-circular bowls and open counters, and diagonals kept sharp and tidy for a precise overall silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, titling, posters, and identity work where the stenciled detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for signage and packaging that benefit from a technical, systemized aesthetic, particularly in short lines, labels, and numbers-forward applications.
The repeated gaps and clean geometry give the face a sleek, engineered tone with a hint of retro-futurism. It reads as design-forward and architectural, suggesting signage systems, industrial labeling, and stylized display typography rather than everyday text neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans structure with a decorative, stencil-driven disruption, creating a recognizable pattern without relying on heavy weight or contrast. The goal is a contemporary display voice that feels engineered and modular while remaining legible in prominent settings.
The stencil breaks become a defining texture, especially in rounded forms and in characters like S, C, and O, where the bridges add a distinctive cadence. Numerals follow the same logic with clear segmentation, reinforcing a coherent system feel when set in sequences or headings.
