A sharply geometric slab-serif design with pronounced chamfered corners and a distinctly octagonal construction, most visible in rounded forms like C, G, O, and Q. Strokes are generally straight and crisp, with small stepped joins and flat terminals that read as slab-like serifs on many letters. Curves are largely replaced by angled segments, creating a faceted rhythm, while counters stay open and clearly defined. The lowercase keeps the same engineered logic, with single-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a consistent, slightly squarish texture across text.
Well-suited for display settings where its angular personality can be seen clearly, such as branding marks, packaging, posters, and signage. It can also work for short editorial blocks, pull quotes, or UI labels in technical or industrial-themed layouts, provided sufficient size and spacing to keep the faceted details from crowding.
The overall tone feels mechanical and technical, like labeling from instruments, machinery, or early digital/vector drawing aesthetics. Its faceted geometry gives it a retro-futurist flavor while remaining matter-of-fact and utilitarian. The strong corners and slab terminals add a sense of sturdiness and precision.
This font appears designed to merge slab-serif solidity with a faceted, polygonal geometry, prioritizing a constructed, engineered presence over organic curves. The consistent chamfers and straight-segment curves suggest an intention to evoke technical drafting, machine labeling, or retro-digital forms while maintaining clear letter differentiation in text.
The design’s visual identity relies on repeated angled cuts at corners and joins, producing a consistent “machined” look across letters and numerals. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with 0 and 8 appearing especially polygonal and emblematic. Spacing and proportions appear tuned for readable text while preserving the rigid geometric motif.
