A geometric sans with a consistent stroke and prominent stencil breaks that slice through bowls, stems, and crossbars. Counters are clean and mostly circular, with squared terminals and sharply cut joins that emphasize a modular, constructed feel. Uppercase forms are built from simple arcs and straight segments, while diagonals in letters like V, W, X, Y, and Z read crisp and engineered. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, with clear interior breaks that keep shapes open and graphic.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where a technical or industrial impression is desired. It also fits signage-style applications, product markings, and UI/graphic overlays that benefit from a segmented, engineered look. For longer passages, it will read most confidently at larger sizes where the stencil gaps remain clear.
The overall tone is industrial and technical, with a sleek, system-built character that suggests machinery, labeling, and engineered surfaces. The repeated gaps create a coded, futuristic rhythm—more utility-signage than warm editorial text—giving it a purposeful, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to translate classic geometric sans proportions into a stencil-ready system, balancing legibility with a distinctly broken, manufactured aesthetic. Its consistent segmentation and clean geometry suggest an emphasis on reproducibility, labeling, and a modern industrial mood.
Stencil bridges are applied consistently across the set, creating distinctive silhouettes in rounded letters (C, G, O, Q, S) and in characters with cross-strokes (A, E, F, H, T). The design stays highly structured and schematic, producing strong recognition at display sizes and a bold, graphic texture in lines of text.
