A heavy, compact serif with squarish, rounded-corner geometry and a mostly monoline, low-contrast build. Curves are tightened into boxy bowls (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase counters), while terminals finish in small, tapered wedge-like serifs that read as subtly flared rather than slabby. The rhythm is dense and sturdy, with wide stems and short joins; apertures stay relatively narrow, and the overall silhouette favors rectangles and softened right angles. Numerals follow the same squared construction, producing a cohesive, engineered texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display applications where a strong, structured voice is helpful: posters, headlines, branding wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding or industrial-themed signage. It also works for sports, automotive, or tech-forward identities that want a retro edge without abandoning serif cues.
The tone is tough and utilitarian with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor—suggesting machinery, signage, and engineered products. Its squared forms and clipped curves add a slightly techno, arcade-adjacent attitude, while the serif treatment keeps it anchored and authoritative rather than purely geometric.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif skeleton with squared, engineered geometry, creating a robust display face that feels both vintage and mechanical. It prioritizes impact and consistent constructed shapes, aiming for a distinctive, brandable texture in short lines of text.
At display sizes the crisp, chamfered corners and compact counters become a defining feature; in longer text, the dense color and narrow openings can make it feel forceful and attention-seeking. The design maintains a consistent, system-like logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing structure over calligraphic nuance.
