A very light, monoline slab-serif design with a condensed footprint and generous verticality. Strokes terminate in flat, squared slabs that read like tiny caps, while many curves are rendered as squared bowls with softened corners, creating a crisp, rectilinear rhythm. Counters are tall and narrow, apertures are controlled, and curves (C, G, S, 2, 3) resolve into boxy geometry rather than fully round forms. The overall construction feels modular and consistent, with a slightly engineered, built-from-straights approach that keeps texture even in text.
Best suited for display typography where its narrow build and squared slab details can be appreciated—headlines, packaging, logos, posters, and wayfinding-style graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or technical captions when a crisp, engineered voice is desired, especially with ample size and spacing.
The font projects a technical, retro-futurist tone—clean and systematic, with a hint of industrial signage. Its squared curves and fine weight feel precise and instrument-like, evoking drafting, terminals, and mid-century sci‑fi titling rather than warm editorial text.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with a squared, modular drawing system, prioritizing clarity and a distinctive geometric texture. Its condensed proportions and fine strokes suggest an emphasis on space efficiency and a streamlined, technical personality for modern and retro-inspired applications.
In the sample text, the light strokes and condensed proportions produce an airy, high-contrast page color (between black strokes and white space) despite the monoline construction. Numerals follow the same squared geometry, and punctuation and diacritics appear minimal and straight-sided, reinforcing the utilitarian aesthetic.
