A compact, monoline slab serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and frequent chamfered corners that give many curves an octagonal feel. Strokes stay even in weight, while the serifs read as blocky feet and caps that reinforce a firm baseline and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively tight and geometric, with a tall, condensed stance and crisp internal angles that keep forms clean and structured. Overall spacing and rhythm feel disciplined, with consistent proportions across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, short paragraphs, posters, packaging labels, and signage where a sturdy, geometric slab serif voice is desired. It can also work for branding accents and interface headings where a compact width helps fit tight spaces while maintaining a strong presence.
The design conveys a mechanical, no-nonsense tone—part vintage signage, part engineered lettering. Its sharp corners and squared slabs add an assertive, industrial character, making text feel deliberate and controlled rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to translate slab-serif authority into a more engineered, square-cornered language, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a distinctive angular silhouette. Its compact proportions and uniform stroke weight suggest an intention to remain steady and readable while projecting a retro-industrial personality.
The chamfered corners and squared curves create a distinctive ‘cut’ geometry that stays legible at display sizes and gives lines of text a patterned, architectural texture. Numerals follow the same squared logic, supporting consistent typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
