A squared, slab-serif design with monolinear strokes and crisp, engineered geometry. Curves are frequently faceted into octagonal forms, most noticeably in round letters and numerals, giving the outlines a machined, drafted feel. Serifs are sturdy and rectangular, with flat terminals and minimal modulation, producing a firm horizontal/vertical rhythm. Counters are open and boxy, and spacing reads generous, helping the large, structured shapes stay clear at text sizes.
Best suited to display roles where the faceted slabs and wide stance can lead the composition—headlines, posters, labels, and branding that wants an industrial or technical flavor. It also performs well for signage-style text and short paragraphs where clarity and a structured rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a hint of retro signage and equipment labeling. Its angular rounding and bold slabs project a practical, no-nonsense voice—confident, sturdy, and slightly futuristic in a classic way.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with square, drafted construction, emphasizing durability and legibility through blunt terminals, low-contrast strokes, and faceted round forms. The consistent geometric logic suggests a goal of creating a dependable, machine-made aesthetic that remains readable in prominent sizes.
Uppercase forms look particularly architectural, while lowercase keeps the same squared logic, including single-storey shapes and compact joins that reinforce the mechanical theme. Numerals echo the faceted construction, with straight segments and clipped corners that maintain consistency across the set.
