A geometric serif with boxy, squared forms softened by rounded corners and small, block-like serifs. Strokes are largely even and mechanical in feel, with a tight, constructed rhythm and a preference for straight segments over continuous curves. Counters tend to be rectangular or squarish, and curves resolve into flat terminals, giving many letters an engineered, stencil-adjacent silhouette without actual breaks. Proportions are steady across the set, with clear cap-to-lowercase contrast and slightly compact interior spaces that keep shapes crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, posters, packaging, and signage where a technical, constructed voice is desirable. It can also work for short UI labels or product titling when you want a retro-tech or industrial flavor, but its strong geometry is likely to be most effective in larger sizes rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone feels technical and retro-modern, evoking instrument panels, early digital interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its squared geometry and controlled curves read as deliberate and functional, while the serif detailing adds a hint of formality and editorial presence. The result is distinctive and somewhat futuristic without becoming overtly playful.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif cues with a modular, engineered drawing style, producing a distinctive hybrid that feels both structured and contemporary. It prioritizes recognizability and visual identity through squared counters, rounded corners, and consistent terminal logic across letters and figures.
Distinctive square-round construction shows up consistently across bowls and shoulders, and the numerals match the same architectural logic for cohesive mixed text. The font’s strong corner language and firm baseline make it especially characterful in all-caps settings and short phrases where its geometry can be appreciated.
