A heavy, geometric sans with consistent stroke thickness and sharply cut terminals. The defining feature is its segmented construction: many letters and numerals are interrupted by narrow vertical breaks and occasional horizontal notches, creating clear bridges typical of stencil drawing. Bowls are near-circular and counters are generous, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and clean, giving the face a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with simplified forms and minimal modulation, and the numerals follow the same split, modular logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display uses where the stencil segmentation can be appreciated: posters, headlines, branding accents, packaging, and industrial-style labels. It also works well for signage and wayfinding where bold shapes need to remain recognizable at a distance while maintaining a distinctive marked/encoded look.
The broken strokes and assertive geometry convey an industrial, functional tone reminiscent of marking paint, signage, and equipment labeling. It feels technical and disciplined, with a slightly retro, mission-ready character that reads as purposeful rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust stencil voice with a modern geometric backbone, balancing legibility with a clearly intentional broken-stroke pattern. It aims to evoke applied lettering—cut, sprayed, or stamped—while remaining clean enough for contemporary graphic layouts.
The repeated vertical gaps running through rounded letters (C, G, O, Q, S, and several numerals) create a strong visual motif that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes. The bold silhouettes and open counters support clarity, but the internal breaks add texture that can dominate in long passages, making spacing and size choices important for comfortable reading.
