A crisp, squared serif design with uniform stroke weight and a strongly modular construction. Terminals and serifs resolve into flat, rectangular slabs, with rounded outer corners in many curves that soften the otherwise boxy geometry. Counters tend to be rectangular and open, and curves (C, G, O, S) are built from straight segments with gently radiused joins. The proportions are expansive with generous horizontal reach, and spacing feels open and even, giving the letters a steady, engineered rhythm.
This style works best in headlines, posters, and identity systems where a technical, modular look is desirable. It can also suit packaging and signage that benefits from a clear, engineered aesthetic, especially at medium to large sizes where the squared detailing remains legible and characterful.
The overall tone reads as technical and methodical, with a retro computing or drafting-table flavor. Its squared forms and consistent linework communicate practicality and precision, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh. The result is a clean, utilitarian voice that still feels distinctive and display-forward.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif cues into a squared, systematized structure, emphasizing consistency, clarity, and a constructed feel. Its wide stance and rectilinear counters suggest a goal of creating a display face that evokes technical lettering and retro-digital sensibilities while maintaining straightforward readability.
Distinctive square construction shows up clearly in the numerals and punctuation-like details within forms (e.g., rectangular bowls and corners), creating a cohesive, grid-friendly texture. Diagonals remain clean and deliberate, and the slab accents add a structured, sign-like presence without heavy weight.
