A monoline slab serif with crisp, square-ended terminals and compact, blocky serifs that read as sturdy rectangles rather than tapered brackets. Curves are controlled and slightly squared-off, giving bowls and arches a geometric, machined feel while maintaining clear interior space. The lowercase shows straightforward, workmanlike construction (notably the single-storey a and g) and a consistent rhythm, with short, flat crossbars and clean joins that stay sharp at text sizes. Overall proportions feel even and orderly, with a balanced mix of straight stems and restrained curves.
Works well for editorial typography where a sturdy slab serif texture is desired, especially in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. The crisp, square terminals also suit packaging, labels, technical documentation, and wayfinding systems that benefit from a clear, engineered look.
The tone is pragmatic and slightly retro, evoking technical labeling and mid-century utilitarian print. Its squared terminals and disciplined geometry convey a mechanical, engineered personality—confident, clear, and a bit industrial.
Likely designed to blend the familiarity of a slab serif with a more rectilinear, square-terminal construction for a modernized industrial feel. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and consistency across letters and numerals while preserving a distinctive, technical voice.
Several glyphs feature distinctive squared curves and tight, rectangular serifs that create strong horizontal punctuation in words. Numerals and uppercase forms maintain the same angular logic, producing a consistent, signage-like texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
