A geometric, modular sans with uniform stroke thickness and generously wide letterforms. Many glyphs are constructed from straight segments and simple arcs, with consistent, deliberate breaks that create clear bridges and a cut-out rhythm. Terminals are mostly squared-off with subtly rounded corners, producing a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters tend to be open and simplified, and the overall spacing and character set presentation suggest a highly regular, grid-driven build.
Best suited for display and short-form text where the stencil breaks can read as a feature: posters, packaging, industrial-inspired branding, wayfinding, product plates, and UI labels for tools or dashboards. It can also work for editorial callouts or titles when a technical, fabricated look is desired.
The broken strokes and rigid geometry lend a utilitarian, industrial tone—evoking stenciled labeling, machinery markings, and technical systems. Its clean repetition and controlled gaps also give it a retro-futurist, instrument-panel character that feels pragmatic rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a coherent stencil aesthetic with a disciplined, systemized construction—prioritizing repeatable shapes, consistent bridges, and a robust presence that remains legible while signaling an industrial theme.
The stencil gaps are applied systematically across curves and horizontals, creating a strong visual signature even at larger sizes. Circular forms (like O/0 and Q) keep a near-monoline ring with a visible interruption, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) retain crisp, modular joins. Numerals follow the same cut-out logic, reinforcing consistency across the set.
