A very light, monoline serif with squared, slab-like feet and predominantly flat stroke endings. Many curved forms are rendered with faceted, chamfered geometry, giving bowls and rounds an octagonal, engineered feel (notably in C/G/O/Q and numerals like 0/6/8/9). Capitals are clean and open with restrained contrast and a steady rhythm; the lowercase keeps a straightforward, text-ready structure with simple ear and terminal treatments. Overall spacing reads even and moderately airy, with crisp joins and a consistent, mechanical stroke logic across letters and figures.
Works well where a light, crisp serif is needed but a more engineered voice is preferred over traditional book faces—such as technical documentation, diagrams, interface labels, and product packaging. The consistent, faceted rounds and clear forms also suit headlines and short-to-medium text in editorial or signage settings that benefit from a precise, drafted aesthetic.
The faceted curves and pared-down slabs lend a technical, workshop tone—calm, precise, and slightly retro, like lettering from schematics or instrument panels. It feels pragmatic rather than expressive, with an understated personality that suggests accuracy and order.
Likely designed to merge traditional slab-serif structure with a geometric, chamfered construction, prioritizing clarity and consistency while introducing a distinctive faceted signature across rounds and terminals.
Distinctive angular rounding is the defining motif, producing a "constructed" look even in otherwise classical serif shapes. The numerals follow the same faceted approach, supporting coherent use in labels and technical text where letters and figures appear together.
