A condensed slab serif with even, monoline strokes and crisp, unbracketed terminals. Curves are frequently faceted into squarish, octagonal forms, giving round letters like C, O, and G a structured, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact bowls and short joins, while ascenders and descenders are kept disciplined and straight. Overall spacing is tight and rhythmic, with a consistent vertical emphasis and clean, square punctuation-like cuts at key corners and joins.
Well-suited for packaging and label systems, wayfinding and informational signage, and headline or subhead work where a condensed footprint is useful. The uniform strokes and squared details also make it a strong choice for technical, industrial, or product-oriented branding applications.
The font conveys a practical, workshop-like tone—orderly, mechanical, and slightly retro. Its faceted curves and square serifs evoke labeling, drafting, and utilitarian signage rather than expressive calligraphy. The result feels confident and functional, with a subtle industrial nostalgia.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, highly structured slab serif with a deliberately engineered geometry. By combining uniform strokes, square serifs, and faceted curves, it prioritizes clarity and a utilitarian voice while maintaining a distinctive, retro-industrial character.
Figures follow the same rectilinear logic as the letters, with squared-off bends and open, legible counters. Diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X, and Y) stay sharp and controlled, reinforcing the engineered look. The overall color on the page remains consistent due to the uniform stroke weight and compact width.
