A squared slab-serif design with sturdy, mostly uniform strokes and prominent block-like serifs. Curves are heavily squared off, producing rounded-rectangle bowls and corners rather than true circular forms, especially in C, G, O, and numerals. The geometry is tight and architectural, with consistent stem thickness, compact joins, and flat terminals that keep counters open and shapes stable. Lowercase forms follow the same rectilinear logic with short, squared shoulders and straightforward construction, creating a highly regular rhythm across text.
It works well for bold labeling and display settings such as signage, packaging, posters, and UI or product marking where a technical, structured look is desired. The consistent stroke behavior and squared curves help it hold up in short text blocks, headers, and brand accents that benefit from an industrial or retro-computing atmosphere.
The overall tone feels engineered and systematic, with a retro-industrial character reminiscent of stenciled labeling, early computer/terminal aesthetics, and technical equipment. Its square rounding and heavy slab details add a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif authority with squared, machine-like geometry, creating a practical display face that feels both vintage and engineered. Its construction prioritizes clarity of silhouette and a strong, modular rhythm suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The distinctive rounded-rectangle O/0 and the squared, bracketless slab treatment give the font a strong signage presence, while the compact interior spaces and straight-sided curves emphasize a mechanical feel. Numerals match the letterforms closely, maintaining the same squared curvature and solid, stable silhouettes for set-like consistency.
