A geometric, all-caps-forward display stencil built from heavy, simplified forms and crisp cut-ins. Strokes are interrupted by sharp triangular and diagonal bridges that create strong internal negative shapes, giving many glyphs a faceted, segmented look. Counters tend toward circular and D-shaped geometry, while diagonals and apexes (notably in A, M, N, V, W, X, Y, Z) are expressed with clean wedge-like breaks. Lowercase follows the same constructed logic with rounded bowls and consistent bridging, maintaining a tight, graphic rhythm across the set.
Best suited for large-scale display work such as posters, headlines, and striking logotypes where the stencil cuts can read clearly. It also fits packaging, titles, and editorial graphics that want a decorative, architectural edge. For smaller sizes or long passages, the repeated internal breaks may become visually busy, so it performs strongest when given space and contrast.
The overall tone feels Deco-inspired and modernist, with an assertive, engineered character. Its hard cuts and stencil joints read as industrial and architectural, while the geometric bowls and symmetry add a stylized, retro-futurist polish. The result is bold and theatrical, designed to catch the eye rather than disappear into text.
The design appears intended to merge classic geometric display proportions with a stencil construction, using angular bridges as a decorative motif. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and patterned negative space to create a distinctive word texture that feels crafted, industrial, and era-referential.
The distinctive stencil joins often sit as diagonal slashes or triangular notches that become a key part of the texture in words, producing a lively pattern of repeated cuts. Numerals echo the same language, with prominent internal breaks and simplified silhouettes that favor graphic consistency over subtle detail.
