A heavy, geometric sans with crisp, hard-edged outlines and consistent stroke weight. Letterforms are built from simple circles and straight segments, then interrupted by clean, repeated breaks that act as stencil bridges. Curves stay broadly round (notably in O/Q/C/G) while verticals and horizontals remain rigid, producing a modular, engineered rhythm. Counters are open and shapes are compact and sturdy, with several glyphs featuring vertical or diagonal cutouts that create strong internal negative-space patterns.
Best suited to display applications where the stencil texture can be a feature: posters, bold headlines, labels, and identity marks. It also fits wayfinding and industrial-themed signage, as well as packaging or event graphics that benefit from a rugged, engineered presence.
The repeated breaks and rigid geometry give the face a purposeful, machine-made tone—more industrial signage than editorial typography. It reads as technical and no-nonsense, with a slightly futuristic edge from the systematic, segmented construction.
The design appears intended to deliver an industrial stencil voice with a clean geometric foundation—combining straightforward sans proportions with systematic breaks to create a durable, reproducible look and a memorable texture in large-format type.
The stencil interruptions are prominent even at display sizes and become a defining texture across words, especially in round letters and numerals (0, 8, 9). The design favors clear silhouettes and strong contrast against the page, with distinctive joins and cut directions that create a consistent, recognizable pattern across the set.
