A wide, monoline slab serif with squared-off terminals and strongly rectilinear construction. Strokes stay even in weight, with generous, boxy counters and rounded-square curves that keep forms open and legible. Serifs read as blunt, integrated slabs rather than delicate brackets, and the overall rhythm is steady and mechanical. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy geometry, with flat-ended horizontals and a consistent, engineered feel across the set.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, and signage where its wide stance and blocky slabs can carry visual weight. It also fits branding applications—logos, product marks, and packaging—especially when an engineered, industrial voice is desired.
The tone is utilitarian and industrial, evoking technical labeling, machinery, and mid-century signage. Its squared curves and blunt slabs give it a confident, no-nonsense presence with a subtle retro-tech flavor.
The font appears designed to combine the familiarity of slab-serif structure with a square, machined drawing style, prioritizing clarity and a robust presence. The wide proportions and blunt terminals suggest an intention toward impactful display use and practical, label-like readability.
The design balances strict right angles with softened, rounded corners, which reduces harshness while preserving a strongly modular look. Wide proportions and open interior spaces help it hold up in larger sizes and in bold, high-impact settings.
