A crisp, monoline display face built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with small, square slab-like serifs and flat terminals throughout. Curves are minimized in favor of rectilinear forms, producing boxy bowls and geometric counters (notably in O, Q, and the lowercase). Proportions are tall and narrow in many glyphs, with a tidy, consistent stroke weight and clear, grid-friendly construction; diagonals appear sparingly and feel taut rather than calligraphic. Spacing in text reads even and mechanical, emphasizing a clean rhythm and a deliberate, engineered look.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where its angular construction and slabbed terminals can be appreciated. It works especially well in wayfinding-style labels, product packaging, and tech or industrial branding that benefits from a precise, schematic aesthetic.
The overall tone is technical and architectural, evoking drafting tools, labelling systems, and early-digital or industrial signage. Its restrained, squared-off forms convey precision and control, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor rather than warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif cues into a highly geometric, square-drawn system, prioritizing consistency, crisp alignment, and a technical rhythm. Its construction suggests a focus on display clarity and a distinctive engineered personality rather than traditional text-face softness.
Distinctive squared bowls and right-angled joins give the lowercase a particularly constructed feel, and the numerals follow the same rectilinear logic for a cohesive alphanumeric set. The very light stroke and open interiors keep the design airy, but the sharp corners and slab details preserve strong structure at display sizes.
