A crisp monoline slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a distinctly rectilinear construction. Strokes maintain an even thickness with sharp corners, producing boxy bowls and mostly flat joins, while diagonals remain clean and minimally modulated. Proportions read on the expanded side, with generous sidebearings and open interior spaces that keep the texture airy despite the rigid geometry. Uppercase forms are structured and steady, and the lowercase mirrors the same hard-edged logic with compact, squared details and simple punctuation-like dots.
This font suits UI labels, settings screens, and instructional layouts where a crisp, schematic voice is helpful. It also works well for code samples, technical documentation, signage, packaging, and poster headlines that benefit from a retro-engineering or typewriter-like texture at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels technical and disciplined, evoking drafting labels, early digital typography, and typewriter-era pragmatism. Its squared serifs and modular shapes give it a slightly retro, engineered character rather than a literary or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, systematized slab-serif voice built from simple strokes and right angles, prioritizing consistency and a mechanical feel over calligraphic nuance. Its expanded stance and squared detailing suggest a desire for legibility and a distinctive, engineered personality in both display and short text settings.
The design’s rhythm is strongly horizontal and vertical, with repeated right angles that create a patterned, grid-like color in text. Numerals follow the same schematic approach, with angular turns and squared counters that suit tabular or technical contexts.
