A heavy, geometric sans with clear stencil-like interruptions that create small bridges and cutouts in bowls and terminals. Strokes are mostly monoline and straight-sided, with round forms built from near-perfect circles and crisp vertical/horizontal joins. The design keeps generous counters for a bold style, while the repeated gaps introduce a rhythmic, segmented texture across words. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, and figures echo the same broken-stroke construction for a cohesive, system-like feel.
Well-suited to display typography where its segmented construction can be a defining visual hook: posters, headlines, product branding, packaging, and signage or wayfinding. It also fits interface labels or environmental graphics when a technical, fabricated aesthetic is desired and sizes are large enough to preserve the stencil breaks.
The overall tone feels industrial and engineered, with a purposeful, no-nonsense presence. The segmented breaks add a technical, fabricated character—suggesting labeling, equipment markings, and contemporary utilitarian graphics rather than expressive or calligraphic warmth.
Designed to deliver a bold geometric voice with a built, manufactured flavor, using systematic breaks to evoke stenciling and industrial marking. The consistent modular cuts aim to maintain strong legibility while adding a distinctive, mechanical rhythm to both uppercase and lowercase text.
The stencil breaks are consistently applied across rounds (C, G, O, Q and similar lowercase forms), which makes the texture highly recognizable at display sizes. At smaller sizes, the interior gaps and tight joins may become visually busy, so the style reads best when given room and strong contrast.
