A stylized serif display face built from modular, rounded-rectangular strokes and smooth quarter-circle curves. Stems are heavy and fairly uniform, with compact, squared terminals that read as small serifs or caps rather than continuous slabs. Counters tend to be squarish and open, and many letters incorporate deliberate gaps, notches, and inset joins that create a faint stencil-like rhythm. The overall texture is clean and controlled, with simplified diagonals and consistent stroke endings that keep the alphabet visually cohesive in both upper- and lowercase as well as numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short setting where its notches and modular joints can be appreciated, such as posters, titles, and brand marks. The structured shapes also fit packaging and signage, especially in themes leaning toward technology, retro futurism, or industrial design.
The letterforms evoke a retro-futurist, techno sensibility—mechanical and architectural rather than calligraphic. Its rounded geometry softens the engineering feel, giving it a sleek, sci-fi tone that suggests signage, interfaces, and stylized branding.
The design appears intended to merge serif cues with a geometric, constructed system, prioritizing a distinctive display voice over conventional text manners. The repeated caps, cut-ins, and rounded corners suggest a deliberate, engineered motif aimed at strong recognition in branding and titling contexts.
Distinctive constructions include a split-arch "m" and "n", a single-storey "a" with an enclosed, squared bowl, and a "g" with a broad, open loop and a pronounced horizontal foot. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, with a squared "2" and "3" and a "0" that reads as an oval/rounded rectangle, helping the set feel unified at display sizes.
