A heavy, block-built sans with rounded outer curves and sharp, squared-off terminals. The defining feature is a recurring vertical slit/cut through many bowls and counters (notably in O/0 and several lowercase forms), creating a stencil-like construction and strong internal rhythm. Proportions are broad and compact, with large counters where the design allows, and simplified geometry that favors clear silhouettes over fine detail. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-through logic, reinforcing a consistent, engineered feel across the set.
Best suited to display typography: posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, and signage where the stencil cuts can read clearly. It also works well for short labels and UI/wayfinding moments that benefit from a bold, technical voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian—like signage cut from sheet material—while the bold massing keeps it assertive and contemporary. The repeated internal breaks add a technical, “equipment label” character that reads as rugged and purposeful rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive stencil interruption, evoking cut-out lettering and industrial fabrication. Its simplified, geometric construction suggests a focus on recognizability and a strong graphic signature in branding and display settings.
The slit motif becomes a key brandable signature at display sizes, but it also introduces distinctive internal shapes that can dominate the texture in longer lines. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms where applicable and a generally compact, tightly built presence.
