A very light, monoline slab-serif design with square-ended strokes and compact, upright proportions. Stems are straight and narrow, with small, flat slabs and occasional soft rounding at corners that keeps the geometry from feeling harsh. Counters tend toward rectangular/rounded-rectangle shapes, and curves (like C, O, S) read as gently squared rather than fully circular. The lowercase shows a straightforward, utilitarian structure with tall ascenders, a simple single-storey a, and a boxy, open e; spacing feels even and airy, supporting clear word shapes despite the delicate stroke weight.
Best suited to display typography where its delicate slabs and squared forms can be appreciated—headlines, posters, short editorial callouts, packaging, labels, and identity accents. It can also work for UI or technical-style graphics when used at sufficiently large sizes and with generous spacing, where the thin strokes won’t get lost.
The overall tone is spare and slightly idiosyncratic—part typewriter/engineering and part handmade. Its squared curves and thin strokes give it a technical, diagram-like feel, while the subtle irregularities in curvature and proportions add a quiet, quirky personality. It reads as retro and utilitarian rather than formal or luxurious.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with a squared, technical silhouette, creating a light, distinctive voice that nods to typewriter and drafting aesthetics. Its consistent monoline construction and restrained details suggest an emphasis on clarity and a recognizable texture rather than traditional book-typography refinement.
Digits follow the same squared-curve logic, with open, linear forms that stay legible at display sizes. The caps have a restrained, understated presence; the slabs are present but not heavy, and the rhythm is more about narrow verticals than strong contrast. The design maintains a consistent stroke behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, which helps it feel cohesive in longer settings.
