A slender, monoline slab-serif with a tall, condensed stance and a clean, engineered rhythm. Curves are frequently faceted into chamfered corners—especially in round letters and numerals—producing an octagonal, sign-painted geometry rather than fully smooth bowls. Serifs are small but square and assertive, with flat terminals and minimal bracket behavior. Stroke contrast is essentially absent, counters are relatively open for the width, and overall spacing reads even and controlled in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting where its faceted geometry can be appreciated: product labels, packaging, exhibit graphics, signage, and technical or architectural-themed headlines. It can also work for compact UI or informational typography when a crisp, engineered voice is desired, though the very light strokes may ask for adequate size and contrast in print or on screen.
The design feels precise and utilitarian, with a measured, drafting-table character. Its chamfered rounds and crisp slabs evoke vintage instrumentation, technical labeling, and architectural lettering, giving it a slightly retro, machine-age tone while remaining orderly and calm.
Likely intended to merge a classic slab-serif structure with a geometric, chamfered construction, creating a distinctive industrial voice without adding weight or stroke modulation. The goal appears to be clarity and consistency, with a signature octagonal roundness that reads as technical and retro-modern.
Distinctive detailing shows up in the angular treatment of O/C/G/Q and the squared, segmented figures (notably 0, 2, 3, 8). Diacritics and punctuation shown in the sample maintain the same linear, squared-terminal logic, and the font keeps a consistent, disciplined texture across mixed-case settings.
