A monoline serif design with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals and a distinctly constructed, geometric feel. Many curves are flattened or chamfered into octagonal counters, giving rounds like C, G, O, and 0 a faceted silhouette. Stems and horizontals maintain an even stroke, with square joins and sharp corners that create a clean, mechanical rhythm. Proportions are broadly set with generous width and open interior spaces, producing a steady, airy texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where its angular construction and slab terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, identity marks, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short technical callouts or UI labels when a mechanical, diagram-like voice is desired.
The overall tone reads technical and engineered, like lettering derived from drafting, signage, or machine labeling. Its faceted bowls and squared serifs add an industrial, retro-futurist flavor while keeping a clear, disciplined presence.
The letterforms appear intended to translate slab-serif structure into a precise, geometric system, emphasizing straight cuts, squared terminals, and faceted curves for a drawn-with-tools aesthetic. The goal seems to be a distinctive industrial voice that remains legible while showcasing a constructed, architectural personality.
The design’s geometry is consistent across cases and figures, with uppercase forms feeling especially schematic and lowercase retaining the same constructed logic. Numerals echo the chamfered rounding, keeping a uniform, modular look that stays coherent in mixed alphanumeric settings.
