A monolinear stencil sans with clean, segmented strokes and consistent bridge cuts across both uppercase and lowercase. Forms are built from simple geometric parts—straight stems, round bowls, and clipped terminals—creating a modular rhythm and clear interior breaks. Curves are generally broad and smooth, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel sharp and engineered. Counters stay open and readable, and the lowercase shows a simple, contemporary construction with minimal detailing and a straightforward, tall-looking x-height presence in text.
Best suited to display typography where the stencil detailing can be appreciated: posters, signage systems, product packaging, labels, and brand accents. It can also work for short UI headings or section titles when a technical/industrial voice is desired, while extended small-size text may lose some clarity as the bridge cuts become more prominent.
The stencil breaks and pared-down construction give the font an industrial, machine-made tone with a modernist edge. At the same time, the repeated cuts through familiar shapes add a slightly playful, coded feel—more technical label than literary serif.
The design appears intended to translate a classic stencil concept into a clean, contemporary sans, using consistent cuts to unify the alphabet and numerals. Its geometry and steady stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on reproducible, system-like letterforms that signal utility and modern fabrication.
Bridge placement is highly consistent, often appearing as vertical or horizontal interruptions that read clearly at display sizes. The numerals follow the same system, with distinctive internal cuts that keep the set cohesive and make figures feel like part of a signage toolkit rather than neutral text figures.
