A squarish slab-serif design with firm, rectangular serifs and largely straight, monoline strokes. Curved characters are built from faceted, octagonal-like corners (notably in O, C, G, and 8), giving the face a mechanical, machined rhythm. Terminals are flat and abrupt, counters are mostly rectangular, and spacing is even and grid-friendly, producing a consistent, modular texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic with compact bowls and sturdy stems, while numerals remain angular and sign-like for clear differentiation.
Well-suited to code snippets, tables, and technical documentation where consistent character width and rigid geometry help alignment. It also fits UI labels, instrumentation-style graphics, and packaging or poster headlines that benefit from an industrial, constructed look.
The overall tone is practical and engineered—evoking labeling, equipment markings, and early computer or typewriter-era output. Its squared geometry and blunt slabs create a no-nonsense voice that feels sturdy, controlled, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to combine slab-serif authority with a square, modular construction that maintains clarity and repeatable rhythm in grid-based layouts. Its faceted curves and blunt serifs suggest an aim toward mechanical legibility and a utilitarian, technical aesthetic.
The faceting on rounded forms and the heavy, blocky serifs make the font read best when you want pronounced structure and strong silhouettes. In text, it creates a patterned, modular color that emphasizes rhythm over softness, with punctuation and forms staying crisp and schematic.
