A very light, monoline slab serif with a narrow set and crisp, square-cut terminals. Curves are frequently faceted into octagonal-like corners, giving bowls and rounds a subtly engineered, chamfered feel rather than a smooth geometric curve. Serifs are unbracketed and rectangular, staying consistent across caps and lowercase, and the overall contrast is minimal. The rhythm is tidy and even, with compact counters and a slightly technical construction that stays legible in text while retaining distinctive corner geometry.
This design suits labels, wayfinding systems, and packaging that benefits from a precise, technical look. It also works well for headings, captions, and short-to-medium text in editorial or documentation contexts where a light, orderly slab serif can add character without adding heaviness.
The font conveys a precise, instrument-like tone—clean and controlled with a vintage technical flavor. Its faceted curves and thin strokes suggest drafting, labeling, and engineered signage rather than expressive calligraphy, producing a calm, matter-of-fact voice with a retro-industrial edge.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif structure with a mechanically faceted, almost engraved construction. By keeping strokes extremely light and terminals square, it aims for clarity and repeatable rhythm while delivering a distinctive industrial signature through its chamfered curves.
Uppercase forms read as structured and schematic, while the lowercase keeps the same chamfered logic and slab terminals for consistency. Numerals follow the same faceted approach, with angular rounding and clear, simple silhouettes that suit data-like settings.
