A crisp, monoline serif design with squared-off slab-like terminals and small spurs that read as pin-like brackets at many stroke ends. Curves are clean and fairly geometric, while joins and counters keep a slightly rectilinear feel, producing a modular rhythm across words. The lowercase shows compact, constructed shapes (single-storey-style forms and squared bowls), and the numerals follow the same engineered logic with open, evenly weighted strokes. Overall spacing feels steady and systematic, with consistent stroke endings that emphasize a cut, machined silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where its terminal pattern and modular rhythm can be appreciated. It works well for branding and packaging that want a technical or retro-industrial flavor, and for signage or labels where sharp, squared endings reinforce a mechanical aesthetic.
The font conveys a technical, retro-industrial tone—precise and instrument-like rather than literary or calligraphic. Its squared terminals and constructed curves suggest utilitarian signage, schematics, or mid-century display typography, giving text a cool, engineered character.
The design appears intended to blend slab-like sturdiness with a square, engineered finish, using consistent terminal treatments to create a distinctive texture and a systematic rhythm. It prioritizes a constructed, instrument-inspired personality over traditional serif softness.
The distinctive square terminals and spur-like details become especially noticeable in continuous text, creating a dotted, riveted texture along verticals and horizontals. The design’s geometry keeps forms legible at display sizes, while the strong terminal treatment can become a prominent pattern when set in long lines.
