A very light, monoline square-serif with crisp, flat terminals and slab-like serifs that read as squared-off caps at stroke ends. Curves are rationalized into rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters like C, G, O, Q, and 0 a soft-cornered, boxy geometry. Proportions are relatively narrow with open counters and generous internal space, while joins stay clean and orthogonal, creating an engineered, schematic rhythm. Uppercase construction feels orderly and slightly condensed; lowercase keeps a straightforward, printed structure with simple shoulders, compact bowls, and a clean, single-storey a. Numerals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic, staying uniform and restrained for text and labeling contexts.
Well suited to interface labels, diagrams, and technical or editorial settings where a crisp, engineered texture is desired. It can also work for packaging and branding that aims for minimal, retro-industrial cues, and for short headlines or callouts where its square-ended detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian with a subtle retro-tech flavor, like instrument labeling or early computer-era typography translated into a refined, contemporary outline. Its lightweight strokes and squared terminals convey precision and restraint rather than warmth, giving it a calm, technical presence that stays unobtrusive while still feeling distinctive.
The font appears designed to blend slab-serif stability with a square, grid-aligned construction, emphasizing clarity, consistency, and a controlled geometric voice. The lightweight strokes and rounded-rectilinear curves suggest an intention to evoke technical modernism and compact, system-like typography while remaining usable for continuous text.
The design’s identity comes from the consistent use of squared terminals and rounded-rectangle curves, which keeps word shapes crisp and grid-friendly. In text, the light weight and open forms maintain clarity, while the boxy rhythm adds character without relying on contrast or calligraphic modulation.
