A squared, slab-serif design with mostly monoline strokes and flat, square-ended terminals. Counters and bowls lean toward rectangular geometry with softly rounded corners, giving the letterforms a machined, engineered feel. Serifs are blocky and assertive yet consistent in size, and many joins resolve into crisp right angles rather than swelling curves. Spacing appears steady and pragmatic, with compact lowercase proportions and open, simplified interior shapes that keep forms clear at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that benefit from an engineered, squared slab look. It also fits labeling and interface-style typography where compact lowercase and sturdy terminals help maintain clarity. For longer text, it will likely perform best in short blocks or callouts where its strong geometry can remain a feature rather than a texture.
The overall tone reads technical and industrial, with a hint of retro-futurism. Its boxy geometry and hard terminals evoke signage, hardware labeling, and utilitarian interfaces rather than editorial warmth. The rounded-square detailing tempers the rigidity, adding a controlled, modernist polish.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary square-slab with a technical, constructed personality—balancing strict geometry with slightly rounded corners to stay readable and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms emphasize squared bowls (notably in C, D, O, Q) while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and angular. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle construction, producing a cohesive set suited to alphanumeric-heavy layouts.
