A monoline slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a distinctly angular construction. Many curves are simplified into chamfered corners, giving bowls and rounds an octagonal feel (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals). Stems are straight and evenly weighted, with short, squared serifs that read as sturdy but not heavy. Proportions are fairly narrow with compact counters, and the rhythm is measured and mechanical, aided by consistent stroke endings and a restrained, upright stance.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, signage, packaging, and editorial display where its geometric slab personality can be appreciated. It also works well for technical labels, maps, or product markings thanks to its crisp terminals and consistent, engineered forms; for longer text, it will read most comfortably at moderate sizes where the faceting and tight counters remain distinct.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, like lettering drawn with drafting tools rather than a pen. The chamfered geometry adds a subtly retro, utilitarian flavor—suggesting signage, equipment labeling, or late-19th/early-20th century printed matter—while staying clean and controlled.
The design appears intended to merge traditional slab serif structure with a deliberately geometric, chamfered construction. By keeping contrast low and terminals square, it emphasizes precision and durability, aiming for a distinctive industrial voice that remains legible and orderly.
Round glyphs consistently use faceted corners instead of true curves, creating strong visual cohesion across letters and figures. The figures follow the same octagonal logic, which helps them blend seamlessly with text in headings or labels. In paragraph-like settings, the sharp joins and compact interior shapes produce a slightly “engineered” texture that favors clarity over softness.
