A geometric serif with squared, rounded-corner construction and a mostly monoline feel tempered by subtle contrast. Stems are straight and sturdy, while curves (C, G, O, S, 0) resolve into softened rectangular bowls rather than pure circles. Serifs read as short, bracketless flares or notched terminals, giving many strokes a chiseled, cut-in finish; this is especially noticeable on E/F/T and in the angled or hooked details on letters like J and Z. Lowercase forms are simple and compact with fairly upright stress, single-storey a, and broad, rounded joins that keep counters open at text sizes while maintaining a distinctly engineered rhythm.
Best used for headlines and short blocks where its distinctive terminals and squared-rounded geometry can read clearly. It suits posters, branding, packaging, and signage that want a retro-industrial or art-deco inflection, and it also works well for numeric-heavy applications like labels, titles, and set pieces.
The overall tone feels vintage and mechanical, with a streamlined, early-modern display character. Its mix of softened corners and sharply defined terminals suggests signage, machinery plates, and poster lettering rather than book typography. The letterforms project a confident, utilitarian presence with a decorative edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif letterforms through a geometric, machined construction: rounded rectangles for bowls, crisp verticals, and decorative flared terminals. The goal seems to be high recognizability and a strong period flavor while staying orderly and legible in display settings.
Distinctive construction details—like the pointed inner vertex on V/W and the flared, carved-looking terminals—create strong word-shape texture and make the font visually assertive. Numerals follow the same squared-round geometry, producing a cohesive set suited to bold numeric callouts.
