A monoline slab-serif design with an extended stance and squared, flat-ended serifs. Curves are rendered with chamfered, octagonal segments, giving bowls and rounds a faceted, mechanical look. The stroke weight stays very consistent, with crisp joins and a slightly modular construction that favors straight lines over true arcs. Counters are open and geometric, and overall spacing feels even and measured, producing a steady rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where its wide proportions and faceted slabs can be appreciated—headlines, labels, signage, posters, and brand marks with a technical or industrial theme. It can also work for short blocks of text when a deliberate, engineered tone is desired, though the strong geometry will remain prominent.
The font reads as technical and engineered, with a retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of drafting, instrumentation, or early digital/plotter aesthetics. Its faceted geometry and rigid terminals convey precision and utility more than warmth or calligraphy.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with a geometric, chamfered construction, creating a distinctive industrial voice that stays legible while emphasizing precision and structure.
Uppercase forms are particularly architectural, while the lowercase retains the same faceted bowl logic, keeping a unified voice across cases. Numerals mirror the octagonal approach, reinforcing a consistent, schematic texture across alphanumerics.
