A heavy, geometric sans with a pronounced stencil construction: most strokes are split by consistent vertical and horizontal breaks, producing a segmented, cut-out silhouette. Forms are built from simple rounds and straight-sided blocks with squared terminals, strong vertical emphasis, and mostly monolinear stroke weight. Counters are simplified and often opened by the stencil gaps, giving letters a constructed, modular feel. Spacing appears relatively generous for a display face, helping the dense black shapes and internal cutouts remain distinct in words and lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, and large-format signage where the stencil segmentation can read clearly. It can also work as a distinctive accent in editorial layouts when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is industrial and architectural, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of Art Deco and signage stenciling. Its dramatic black massing and rhythmic cut-ins create a bold, poster-like voice that feels mechanical, confident, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with a systematic stencil mechanism, prioritizing visual rhythm and bold presence over neutral readability. The consistent modular cuts suggest a deliberate, engineered aesthetic aimed at display typography and graphic identities.
The repeated break pattern creates strong texture across lines of text, but the split strokes can reduce instant recognizability at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same segmented logic, keeping the set visually cohesive and emphasizing pattern as much as letterform.
