A wide, geometric slab serif with monolinear strokes and crisp, square terminals. Serifs are unbracketed and block-like, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes, and curves are smoothly drawn but resolve into flat ends and corners that keep the rhythm structured. The x-height reads tall and the lowercase is open and spacious, with generous horizontal proportions and a steady baseline presence that remains clear in text.
It suits headlines, posters, and signage where broad letterforms and sturdy serifs can carry from a distance. The font also works well for branding and packaging that want a vintage-tech or industrial mood, and for short editorial callouts where its strong texture adds character without relying on high contrast.
The overall tone feels retro-futuristic and functional, mixing mid-century sign lettering confidence with a slightly tech-forward, modular character. Its broad stance and squared detailing give it an industrial clarity, while the rounded-rect forms add a friendly, slightly playful edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab serif voice with extended proportions and a clean, engineered construction. By pairing squared slabs with rounded-rect curves, it aims for a distinctive display presence that remains legible and consistent in running text.
Numbers and capitals appear especially strong as display elements, with consistent stroke endings that create a cohesive, mechanical texture. In paragraph settings the wide set and prominent slabs produce a distinctive horizontal flow and a bold, poster-like voice even at moderate sizes.
