A very light, monoline serif with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals and frequent chamfered or octagonal joins that give curves a faceted, engineered feel. Strokes remain evenly thin throughout, with sharp corners, squared-off counters, and a slightly expanded, open rhythm that reads cleanly at display sizes. Uppercase forms are geometric and steady (notably the faceted C/G/O/Q), while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, upright construction with clear, separated shapes and simple two-storey-style structure where applicable. Numerals echo the same chamfered geometry, maintaining consistent line weight and a precise, drawn-with-a-ruler look.
This face suits headlines, titles, and short passages where its faceted geometry can be appreciated—such as branding systems with an industrial or architectural bent, packaging, labels, and signage. It can also work for UI or diagram-style labeling when a precise, engineered voice is desired, provided sizes are generous enough for the hairline strokes to hold.
The overall tone is precise and technical, like lettering from drafting, engraving, or schematic labels. Its faceted curves and square-cut slabs add a subtle retro-industrial flavor while staying restrained and orderly rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with a drafted, polygonal construction, turning round forms into controlled facets and keeping stroke weight deliberately minimal. The result is a serif that communicates precision and modern-industrial character without relying on heavy contrast or ornament.
Diagonal strokes (V/W/X/Y) are clean and angular, and the serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The thin weight and sharp joins emphasize outlines and negative space, so the design feels airy and meticulous, with a slightly mechanical texture in running text.
