A geometric stencil sans built from mostly uniform strokes and simplified, engineered curves. The design uses decisive stencil breaks—often as vertical or horizontal gaps through bowls and counters—creating strong internal rhythm and clear “bridges” across forms like O, C, G, and S. Terminals are predominantly straight and crisp, with occasional angled cuts on diagonals (notably in V, W, X, Y, and Z). Overall proportions are compact and sturdy, with a clean baseline and a consistent, modular feel across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where a stencil voice is desired. It performs especially well in signage and labeling-style applications, and in logos or titles that benefit from an industrial, manufactured aesthetic.
The tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking signage, labeling, and equipment markings. The repeated cutouts add a mechanical, fabricated character that feels tactical and slightly retro, while still reading as modern and purposeful.
The font appears designed to translate classic stencil construction into a clean, geometric display sans, prioritizing recognizable letterforms with deliberate bridges for a fabricated, cut-from-material effect.
Stencil gaps are prominent enough to be a defining feature at display sizes, and they create distinctive silhouettes in rounded letters and figures. The numerals and capitals read particularly strong and emblematic, with a confident, poster-like presence.
