This typeface uses a monoline structure with crisp slab serifs and frequent chamfered (octagonal) corners, giving many curves a faceted, engineered feel. Strokes are thin and evenly weighted, with flat terminals and squared-off joins that emphasize geometry over calligraphic motion. Proportions read open and generously set, with a steady, deliberate rhythm and slightly segmented curves in letters like C, G, O, and S. The lowercase maintains clear, simple forms with tall ascenders and a straightforward, legible construction that matches the uppercase’s structured logic.
It suits display settings where geometric character can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, and packaging—especially for technical, architectural, or industrial themes. It can also work for short paragraphs or captions when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its thin, crisp detailing.
The overall tone feels technical and architectural, like lettering drawn with rulers and templates. Its faceted curves and crisp slabs suggest a retro-industrial sensibility—precise, utilitarian, and slightly futuristic—while remaining calm and readable in text.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif clarity with a template-drawn, faceted geometry, creating a recognizable technical voice without relying on heavy weight or high contrast. The consistent chamfers and flat slabs aim to deliver a strong, constructed identity across letters and numerals.
The faceting is consistent across rounds and numerals, producing a distinctive “cut-corner” silhouette that stands out most at larger sizes. The design’s light, open strokes benefit from ample spacing and clean backgrounds where the geometric detailing can remain visible.
