A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and squared-off terminals, built from simple circular and rectangular forms. The defining feature is a consistent horizontal segmentation across letters and figures, creating clear stencil-like breaks and occasional cut-in notches that emphasize the construction. Curves are compact and mechanical, counters are large for the weight, and the overall rhythm is punchy and high-impact with minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the segmented stencil detail can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, labels, and display signage. It can also work well for themed interfaces or title treatments that benefit from an engineered, high-contrast silhouette against simple backgrounds.
The repeated banded cuts give the face a coded, engineered feel—part industrial labeling, part sci‑fi interface. It reads assertive and utilitarian, with a sporty edge that suggests equipment, vehicles, and technical systems rather than literary or delicate contexts.
The design appears intended to fuse bold geometric letterforms with a repeatable stencil interruption that stays consistent across the alphabet, creating immediate recognizability. It prioritizes graphic presence and thematic texture over neutrality, aiming for a constructed, industrial/tech display voice.
The midline breaks are strong enough to become a graphic motif, producing a distinctive “strapped” look in words and making round letters (like O/C/G/Q) feel especially emblematic. The same segmentation carries into numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like tone across the set.
