A serif design with a distinctive chamfered, near-octagonal construction in its curves and bowls, giving round letters a faceted, engineered feel. Strokes stay relatively even with modest thick–thin modulation, and terminals resolve into small, sharp serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. The caps are tall and narrow with a measured rhythm, while the lowercase keeps straightforward forms and slightly squarish counters in letters like o, c, and e. Numerals and several capitals (notably O/Q and D) emphasize the geometric beveling, reinforcing a crisp, machined texture across the set.
This face suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a vintage-technical flavor is desirable. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a crisp, engraved or typewritten impression, as well as posters and brand marks needing a distinctive serif voice.
The overall tone feels archival and utilitarian, like a hybrid of typewriter pragmatism and engraved signage. Its angular rounding adds a technical, industrial character that can read as vintage without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with a geometric, chamfered treatment of curves, producing an engineered look that stands apart from conventional book serifs. It prioritizes a consistent, recognizable texture and a slightly industrial character across letters and figures.
The faceting is consistent across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a recognizable texture in running text as well as in single-letter settings. Spacing appears fairly open and even, supporting readability while preserving the font’s idiosyncratic, cut-corner personality.
