A stylized italic serif with gently flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that soften into rounded corners. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle modulation, and many curves resolve into squared, chamfered bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals), giving a controlled, engineered feel. The italic slant is consistent across cases, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact, slightly condensed counters that keep the rhythm tight. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-round geometry, while the lowercase includes simple, single-storey forms and a distinctive, hooked “j” descender.
Best suited for short to mid-length display settings where its angled stance and squared-round detailing can be appreciated—headlines, titles, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for tech-leaning UI labels or packaging callouts when set with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone reads modern and technical, like a refined sci‑fi or industrial aesthetic filtered through a classic serif vocabulary. It feels brisk and forward-leaning, balancing sophistication with a slightly synthetic, display-oriented character.
The design appears intended to merge italic serif tradition with a contemporary, engineered geometry—using flared terminals and squarish counters to create a distinctive, forward-looking display voice while remaining recognizable and readable.
Spacing appears intentionally open in capitals while lowercase forms pack more tightly, creating a lively texture in running text. The interplay of sharp joins and softened corners is a defining motif, and the squared counters help maintain a consistent visual signature across letters and figures.
