A very extended slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a low-contrast, monolinear build. The design favors rounded-rectangle bowls and softened corners, giving many glyphs a squarish, machined silhouette (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals). Serifs are short and blunt, with crisp joins that keep the rhythm rigid and horizontally emphatic. Counters are generally open and rectangular, and strokes stay consistent, creating a stable, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where width and slab structure can drive recognition—headlines, posters, wayfinding, labels, and brand marks that want a technical or industrial flavor. It can also work for short blocks of text when a firm, mechanical texture is desired, though the extended proportions will dominate page economy.
The overall tone feels industrial and instrument-like—confident, functional, and slightly retro in a signage-and-machinery way. Its wide stance reads bold in personality without relying on heavy stroke weight, projecting a calm but authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to merge a sturdy slab-serif backbone with a rounded-rect geometry, emphasizing horizontal presence and a machined clarity. The combination of blunt serifs and softened corners suggests a deliberate balance between hard-edged industrial cues and approachable, contemporary smoothness.
The sample text shows a strong, even color and a distinctive rectangular rounding that helps keep wide letterforms from feeling overly sharp. Numerals follow the same squared, technical logic, with an especially boxy construction that suits labeling and display-oriented number strings.
