A blocky slab-serif with squared, flat terminals and a distinctly chamfered, near-octagonal construction throughout curves and counters. Strokes are largely even, with crisp right-angled joins and small cut-ins that read like ink-traps or stencil-style notches at corners. Capitals are broad and sturdy, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with compact bowls and clear, squared-off serifs. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, keeping a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a robust, engineered presence is desired. It also works for signage and labels thanks to its clear, squared forms, and can add character to short text passages in editorial or promotional settings when generous spacing is available.
The overall tone feels industrial and mechanical, with a retro signage flavor that suggests hardware, equipment, or technical labeling. Its faceted corners and sturdy slabs add a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice that can also read as subtly sci-fi or arcade-like when set large.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif solidity with a geometric, fabricated look, using chamfers and corner cut-ins to evoke stamped metal, industrial print, or technical marking. It prioritizes a distinctive angular texture while keeping letterforms familiar and readable.
The chamfered edges create a distinctive sparkle in text, especially where verticals meet horizontals, giving paragraphs a patterned texture. The design’s strong rectangular footprint and angular curves keep forms distinct, though the corner notches become a defining motif that will be most noticeable at display sizes.
