A hairline, monoline slab-serif design with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a distinctly squared construction. Strokes stay consistently thin, with flat caps and small rectangular feet that read as slabs rather than flares. Curves are approached with faceted, near-rectilinear turns, giving bowls and joints a geometric, drafted feel. The overall rhythm is airy and precise, with tall proportions, restrained horizontals, and clean, open interior spaces that keep forms legible despite the light weight.
Best suited to display sizes where the fine strokes and squared slab terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or magazine titling, and brand marks. It also works well for packaging and labels that want a technical or architectural flavor. For longer passages, generous size and spacing help preserve its delicate, hairline detail.
The typeface feels like lettering drawn with a technical pen—measured, engineered, and quietly stylish. Its sharp corners and hairline presence evoke blueprint titling, mid‑century display typography, and minimalist editorial aesthetics. The tone is cool and controlled rather than expressive, favoring clarity and structure over warmth.
Likely designed to merge slab-serif structure with a drafting-inspired, geometric skeleton—prioritizing precision, straight-edge construction, and a distinctive squared silhouette. The intent appears to be a refined display face that signals modernist order and technical clarity while remaining stylistically memorable.
In text settings the thin strokes and frequent right angles create a crisp grid-like texture, while the slab terminals add a subtle mechanical punctuation at line ends. Uppercase has a formal, sign-like stance; lowercase maintains the same geometric logic with boxy joins and straight-sided shapes, producing a distinctive, slightly modular reading pattern.
