A light, upright serif with a distinctly squared, rounded-corner construction and a mildly condensed stance. Strokes stay fairly even, with small, flared serif-like terminals that read more as bracketed caps than classic wedges. Curves are often “rectangularized” (notably in C, G, O, Q, and 0), giving counters a boxy, instrument-panel feel. Rhythm is tidy and consistent, with narrow joins, compact bowls, and crisp, slightly mechanical diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, and packaging where its geometric serif detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for signage and short UI/label applications that benefit from a technical, retro voice, but it is most compelling when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and display-oriented—part Art Deco, part technical drafting. Its softened corners keep it friendly, while the squared geometry and compact proportions add a controlled, engineered character. The result is distinctive and a little quirky, more about personality than neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge serif cues with a geometric, squared-off skeleton, creating a decorative display face that evokes mid‑century industrial and Art Deco influences. Its controlled proportions and consistent corner treatment suggest an emphasis on a unified, engineered aesthetic across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms show strong modularity (especially D, O, Q) and the numerals follow the same squared-round logic for a cohesive alphanumeric texture. The lowercase keeps a simple, constructed look with single-story a and g and a narrow, upright rhythm that holds together well in short text samples.
