A monoline geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and crisp terminals. Many letters are constructed from near-circular bowls and straight verticals, then deliberately interrupted with small, uniform breaks that create a stencil-like, segmented structure. Counters are open and airy, round forms (O, C, G, e, 8, 9) lean toward perfect geometry, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and clean. Lowercase forms are simple and modern, with single-story a and g and compact, rounded shoulders; spacing feels even and orderly, reinforcing a measured rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where the broken strokes can be appreciated and the geometric construction reads crisply—headlines, logos, identity systems, posters, and product/tech branding. In running text it remains legible, but the stencil segmentation makes it most effective when used for emphasis rather than long-form body copy.
The segmented strokes and circular geometry give the face a sleek, engineered feel—more sci‑fi interface than traditional print. It reads as modern, controlled, and slightly experimental, projecting a sense of precision and intentionality rather than warmth or nostalgia.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with a consistent stencil interruption system, producing a contemporary, technical voice. The goal seems to be distinctive recognizability—especially in round letters and numerals—while keeping proportions and rhythm restrained and orderly.
The stencil breaks are used as a consistent motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating recognizable shapes while adding visual texture. Numerals are similarly geometric (notably 0, 8, 9) with interruptions placed to preserve clarity, and punctuation/diacritic elements shown appear minimal and unobtrusive in text.
