This typeface is built from straight, monoline strokes with firm, square slab serifs and consistently crisp corners. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous widths and a stable, horizontal rhythm; curves (as in C, O, S) are rendered with squarish, faceted geometry rather than smooth rounds. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with compact bowls and right-angled terminals, while figures are similarly boxy and engineered, emphasizing flat tops, bottoms, and squared counters. Overall spacing reads open and even, supporting clear word shapes despite the strongly geometric construction.
It works especially well for headlines, posters, and branding that want an industrial or technical feel, and it’s a strong choice for signage, labels, and packaging where sturdy shapes and clear terminals help maintain presence. The consistent stroke weight also supports short text blocks and captions when a deliberate, engineered aesthetic is desired.
The tone is utilitarian and mechanical, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and industrial-era printing. Its squared forms and assertive slabs give it a rugged, no-nonsense voice with a subtle retro-tech flavor.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of slab serifs with a constructed, rectilinear drawing style, prioritizing robustness and a clear, mechanical identity over calligraphic nuance. Its modular geometry suggests an aim toward practical display and labeling contexts where a technical, retro-industrial tone is beneficial.
The design’s repeated right angles and rectangular counters create a distinctive pixel-adjacent, constructed look that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The slab terminals are prominent enough to read at display sizes while maintaining a steady, modular texture in paragraphs.
