A very thin, monoline serif design with tall proportions and compact widths. Strokes stay highly consistent, while terminals resolve into small, square-cut slab serifs and clipped corners that introduce an octagonal, engineered geometry. Curves are minimized into faceted arcs (notably in C, G, O, and numerals), producing a crisp, constructed rhythm. Overall spacing feels measured and tidy, with a clean baseline and a slightly condensed texture that reads as deliberate and schematic.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks with a technical or Deco-leaning concept. It can also work well for signage, UI labels, charts, and infographics where a schematic, engineered voice is desired and generous size helps preserve the fine strokes.
The faceted forms and hairline strokes give the face a technical, architectural tone with a subtle Art Deco flavor. It feels precise and methodical rather than warm or calligraphic, suggesting diagrams, labels, and designed systems. The look is quietly retro-futurist—orderly, stylized, and distinctly geometric.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with a drafted, faceted geometry, turning traditional curves into clipped, octagonal forms. Its consistent hairline weight and square serifs suggest a focus on precision and stylistic distinctiveness over conventional text neutrality.
The octagonal treatment appears consistently across rounds and counters, lending strong visual identity even at small sizes. The contrast is minimal, but the sharp joins and thin strokes can make the design feel delicate, especially in dense text blocks or low-resolution settings.
