A tall, condensed slab serif with monoline strokes and crisp, squared terminals. Serifs are unbracketed and rectilinear, giving the letterforms a machined, architectural feel. Curves are subtly faceted into straight segments, producing octagonal bowls and chamfered corners (especially visible in C, G, O, Q and the numerals). The rhythm is vertical and airy, with generous internal space and a consistent, clean outline that stays sharp at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its narrow, vertical stance and crisp slabs can define a strong typographic color—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and signage. It can also work for short blocks of text or UI accents when a technical, industrial flavor is desired, though its condensed build favors larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is utilitarian and slightly retro, evoking labeling, drafting, and typewritten ephemera. Its angular geometry and lean proportions create a precise, no-nonsense voice with a hint of vintage industrial character.
The design appears aimed at merging a typewriter/industrial slab-serif sensibility with a geometric, faceted construction. The consistent monoline weight and squared details suggest an intention to feel precise and engineered rather than calligraphic.
Capital forms read as narrow and stately, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with simple joins and restrained curves. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, with squared corners and a technical, sign-paint-like rigidity that keeps the set visually cohesive.
