A monolinear slab-serif with square, unbracketed terminals and softly rounded outer corners that keep the geometry from feeling harsh. The forms are largely rectilinear and modular, with generous apertures and clear counters; curves are simplified and tend to resolve into straight-sided bowls. Serifs read as short, blocky caps on stems and arms, and many joins feel deliberately engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same constructed logic, with squared bowls and straightforward stroke endings that stay consistent across the set.
Works well for interface text, labeling, and signage where sturdy letterforms and crisp terminals aid quick recognition. It can also suit packaging or editorial settings seeking a clean, industrial voice, especially in short passages, captions, and heads where the squared, engineered shapes become a stylistic asset.
The overall tone is technical and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling, equipment marking, and early digital or drafting aesthetics. Its calm, constructed rhythm communicates clarity and order more than personality or flourish.
The design appears intended to merge the dependability of slab serifs with a geometric, systemized construction, producing a practical face that still has a distinctive, retro-technical silhouette. Rounded corners and open shapes suggest an aim for clarity and friendliness without losing a precise, mechanical character.
Rounded-square construction shows up repeatedly in bowls and corners, giving the type a distinctive “softened grid” look. The lowercase keeps a plain, workmanlike structure, while the capitals maintain a steady, signage-friendly presence that remains legible at a glance.
