A heavy, rounded sans with smooth, monoline strokes and systematically cut internal gaps that read as stencil-like notches. Counters are generally circular to oval, and many letters feature a vertical split through the bowl or counter, creating a strong rhythm of breaks that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Terminals are softly squared with generous radii, giving the forms a friendly silhouette despite the mechanical interruptions. Widths vary by character, and the overall spacing feels open enough to keep the cutouts legible in continuous text.
Best suited to display work where its stencil breaks can be appreciated: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can work for short bursts of copy or UI labels when set large enough to preserve the internal cutouts and avoid visual clutter.
The repeated breaks and rounded geometry create an industrial, fabricated feel—like letterforms assembled from molded parts or punched signage—while the soft corners keep it approachable. The tone lands between retro display and playful tech, suggesting labeling, wayfinding, or a stylized “machine-made” aesthetic rather than a neutral text voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, systematized stencil effect within a rounded sans structure, prioritizing recognizability and graphic texture. Its consistent cut patterns suggest a deliberate modular/industrial motif aimed at strong display presence.
The distinctive identity comes from the consistent mid-stroke voids and counter splits, which become a strong pattern at larger sizes. In smaller settings, those gaps turn into high-frequency detail, so the design reads most clearly when given room and contrast.
