A squared, heavy serif design with monoline-like stroke weight and flat, rectangular terminals. Serifs read as robust slabs that extend horizontally, giving the letterforms a grounded, engineered feel. Counters and joints are mostly right-angled, producing a boxy rhythm with little curvature; round shapes like O and 0 appear rectilinear and squarish. Spacing is fairly open for such dark shapes, and the overall texture is even, with strong horizontals and crisp corners that maintain clarity at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display text where its slabbed, squared forms can create a strong graphic presence. It works well for signage, packaging, and logotypes that need a sturdy, industrial voice, and can also fit retro-tech themed interfaces or editorial callouts when used with comfortable tracking.
The font projects an industrial, retro-tech tone—confident, functional, and slightly mechanical. Its squared construction and assertive slabs evoke signage, hardware labeling, and vintage computer or arcade aesthetics while remaining clean and readable.
The design appears intended to combine slab-serif authority with a square, engineered construction, prioritizing bold legibility and a distinctive, mechanical silhouette. Its consistent right-angle geometry suggests a goal of creating a cohesive, modular look that remains clear and impactful in prominent applications.
The numerals match the angular theme, with notably squared forms and strong baseline/ cap alignment; 1 is simple and upright, while 2 and 3 emphasize straight segments and corners. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, block-built logic, and the dot on i/j is a compact square, reinforcing the geometric system.
