A squared, slab-serif design with monoline strokes and conspicuously chamfered corners that create an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Curves are largely flattened into straight segments, giving round letters like O, C, and G a faceted feel. Serifs are blocky and blunt, with many terminals ending in flat cuts; joins stay clean and angular, and counters are open and rectangular in character. The tall x-height and compact apertures produce a steady, mechanical rhythm, while widths vary enough to keep word shapes distinct without losing the rigid, grid-friendly construction.
Best suited to display applications where its angular slabs and faceted curves can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, packaging, product labeling, and environmental graphics. It also fits interface and dashboard-style typography where a technical, system-like flavor is desired, and can work for short text blocks at comfortable sizes thanks to its tall x-height and sturdy letterforms.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, evoking labeling systems, machinery, and retro-futurist interfaces. Its faceted geometry and sturdy slabs read as purposeful and utilitarian, with a subtle sci‑fi/robotic edge. The presence of strong corners and hard terminals lends an authoritative, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif structure into a geometric, machined aesthetic—favoring beveled corners, flat terminals, and consistent stroke logic for a modular, engineered look. It prioritizes a strong, reproducible silhouette that feels at home in industrial and tech-forward contexts.
Numerals follow the same chamfered, polygonal logic, with the 0 rendered as a beveled rectangle and the 8 built from stacked octagonal bowls. Lowercase forms retain the angular construction and prominent slabs, helping maintain consistency between headline and text settings. The design favors crisp edges and uniform stroke logic over calligraphic modulation, reinforcing a constructed, modular impression.
