A heavy, geometric display face built from monoline strokes and decisive cut-outs that create consistent stencil bridges throughout the alphabet. Forms are largely constructed from straight segments and clean circular arcs, with squared terminals and frequent vertical splits in bowls and counters. The rhythm is compact and punchy, with simplified, sign-like construction in both caps and lowercase, and numerals that echo the same broken-stroke logic for strong visual continuity.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the stencil texture can be a feature—posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging. It also works well for signage, labels, and on-object graphics where an industrial or coded aesthetic is desired and the strong cut-outs help maintain character under reproduction constraints.
The repeated breaks and engineered geometry give the type a functional, industrial tone, suggesting labeling systems, equipment markings, and utilitarian wayfinding. Its crisp, no-nonsense shapes feel modern and mechanical, with an assertive presence that reads as tough and purpose-built rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear stencil aesthetic with a disciplined, modular construction, balancing legibility with a distinctive cut-out signature. Its consistent bridging and simplified geometry suggest a typeface made to evoke functional marking and engineered precision in contemporary display applications.
Stencil gaps are prominent in rounded letters (C, G, O, Q, e, o, 0, 6, 8, 9), producing distinctive counters and a recognizable texture at text sizes. Diagonals in letters like A, K, M, N, V, W, X and Y add a sharp, angular cadence that contrasts with the circular bowls. The lowercase maintains the same constructed logic, keeping a uniform, systemized feel across cases.
