A geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and deliberate stencil breaks throughout the alphabet and numerals. Forms are built from bold, simplified shapes with rounded outer corners and crisp internal cut-ins, creating clear bridges at joins and counters. Curves tend toward circular or softly squared geometry, while diagonals in letters like A, K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y are sharply cut and cleanly aligned. Spacing reads open and sturdy, with counters kept generous despite the interruptions, maintaining legibility in display sizes.
Works best for posters, headlines, and signage where the stencil breaks can read clearly and contribute character. It’s well suited to packaging, product labels, industrial or technical branding, and themed graphics that benefit from a fabricated or marked-on aesthetic.
The overall tone is industrial and functional, evoking labeling, fabrication, and equipment marking. The cut-out rhythm adds a coded, engineered feel that reads as purposeful rather than decorative, lending a contemporary “shop-floor” or tactical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, easily reproducible stencil look with a modern geometric backbone. Its simplified construction and consistent bridging suggest a focus on clarity, durability of impression, and strong presence in display typography.
The stencil joins are applied consistently across rounds (C, O, Q, G, 0, 6, 8, 9) and straights (E, F, H, I, L, T), giving the font a cohesive system. Lowercase follows the same modular logic, producing compact, sturdy text with a distinct mechanical cadence.
