A dense, geometric sans with monoline strokes and heavy, blocky proportions. Letterforms are constructed from simple circular and rectangular masses that are repeatedly segmented by straight cut-ins, creating stencil-like breaks and internal gaps. Curves are largely built from near-perfect semicircles, while diagonals appear as sharp wedges with sliced joins; counters are compact and often partially occluded by the characteristic cuts. The lowercase follows the same modular logic with simplified bowls and a single-storey structure, producing a consistent, highly graphic rhythm across lines.
Best suited to large-size applications where its cutout details and modular geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and bold branding systems. It can also work for signage-style graphics and short display copy where a stenciled, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a distinctly constructed, engineered feel. The repeated breaks evoke signage stencils and machined markings, giving the face a retro-industrial flavor that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that reinterprets geometric forms through a systematic set of stencil-like interruptions. Its consistent segmentation suggests a deliberate effort to create a distinctive visual signature and strong patterning in text.
The segmented construction is especially prominent in diagonals (such as in K, M, N, W, X, Y, Z) and in rounded letters where vertical gaps split bowls. Numerals mirror the same cut-and-block geometry, emphasizing graphic pattern over conventional readability at smaller sizes.
