A monoline slab serif with very wide proportions and sharp, unbracketed serifs that read as squared terminals. The letterforms lean on straight strokes and chamfered corners, giving rounds like O, C, and G an octagonal, engineered contour. Curves are minimal and simplified; joins and terminals stay crisp, with consistent stroke weight and a sturdy baseline presence. Spacing feels open and airy in display sizes, while counters remain generous despite the geometric squaring.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its wide stance and chamfered geometry can be appreciated. It can work well for branding and packaging that aims for an industrial, technical, or retro-instrument aesthetic, and for short text settings where the strong slabs help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with a retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of labeling, machinery plates, or schematic typography. Its angular rounding and square-ended slabs project a deliberate, constructed voice rather than a handwritten or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif solidity with a geometric, octagonal drawing model, creating a display-friendly face that feels engineered and contemporary while nodding to vintage technical lettering.
Capitals and numerals appear especially geometric, with multi-faceted bowls and clear, straight-sided construction. Lowercase follows the same squared logic, producing a distinctive rhythm in text where repeated verticals and slab terminals create a measured, mechanical cadence.
