A monoline italic slab serif with narrow, open counters and a largely rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Strokes maintain an even weight throughout, while unbracketed slab terminals add small, squared “feet” and caps that read cleanly at text sizes. Curves are drawn as straight segments with gentle bends, giving bowls and rounds a subtly faceted look; the overall rhythm is consistent, with slightly condensed proportions and a tidy, engineered spacing feel.
Works well for UI and product labeling, interface headings, and compact editorial typography where a technical voice is desired. The even stroke and clean slab terminals also suit packaging, signage, and poster titling that benefits from a structured, industrial character.
The design conveys a technical, schematic tone with a hint of mid‑century/industrial flavor. Its crisp slabs and angular curves feel precise and functional, suggesting labels, instruments, and engineered systems rather than expressive calligraphy.
The font appears intended to merge slab-serif anchoring with an engineered, geometric italic skeleton, producing a distinctive “technical display” texture that remains controlled and legible. Its faceted curves and squared terminals suggest a deliberate nod to drafting and industrial typography while keeping forms consistent across text and numerals.
Distinctive kinked or chamfer-like turns appear in several rounded glyphs, and the figures share the same squared, streamlined logic for a cohesive alphanumeric texture. The italic slant is steady and moderate, keeping the face readable while adding forward motion.
