A geometric, monoline sans with deliberate stencil breaks that create small bridges in bowls, crossbars, and joins. The forms rely on straight stems and near-circular counters, with clean terminals and a consistent stroke weight throughout. Curves are broadly drawn and simplified, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and the Z) feel sharp and engineered. The stencil gaps are placed consistently, producing a segmented rhythm in letters like O/Q/C/S and in numerals such as 0/6/8/9.
Best suited to display use where the stencil detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, branding, and signage. It can work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style text when size and contrast are sufficient, but the broken strokes may become busy in long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is industrial and technical, evoking labeling, machinery, and engineered graphics. The repeated breaks add a tactical, fabricated feel that reads as functional rather than decorative, with a subtle modernist edge.
The type appears designed to translate a clean geometric sans into a stencil-ready system, keeping consistent stroke weight while adding purposeful breaks for a fabricated, cut-out aesthetic. The goal seems to be a distinctive, industrial voice that remains orderly and modern.
At text sizes the stencil bridges become a prominent texture, giving words a distinctive banded rhythm. The design stays legible but clearly prioritizes graphic character; wide circular letters and strong verticals make it particularly striking in short settings.
