A crisp, square-built slab serif with monoline strokes and flat, squared terminals. Curves are engineered into rounded rectangles, giving bowls and counters a boxy geometry with softened corners. Serifs are short and block-like, and the overall construction favors verticals and right angles, producing a steady, mechanical rhythm. Uppercase proportions lean narrow and tall, while lowercase forms keep compact apertures and straightforward joins; figures follow the same squared, modular logic for a cohesive texture.
Well-suited to short text where a structured, technical flavor is desirable—such as signage, packaging, product labeling, posters, and bold headings. It can also work for UI titles or dashboard-like typography where squared forms and clear silhouettes reinforce a functional aesthetic.
The font reads as practical and instrument-like, with a retro-industrial tone reminiscent of labels, equipment markings, and technical ephemera. Its squared shapes and no-nonsense detailing convey precision and restraint rather than warmth or flourish.
The design appears intended to combine the solidity of slab detailing with a squared, modular letter skeleton, yielding a font that feels engineered and consistent. The goal seems to be a distinctive, technical texture that remains readable while projecting an industrial, systematized character.
The family shows a consistent “rounded-square” motif across both letters and numerals, which helps text feel uniform at larger sizes. The slab accents add a subtle sturdiness without introducing calligraphic contrast, keeping the voice clean and functional.
