A crisp, monoline slab serif with broad proportions and a steady horizontal rhythm. Strokes maintain near-uniform weight, while slab serifs are short, flat, and rectangular, often with squared-off joins and subtly softened corners. Curves read as squarish rounds—seen in letters like C, G, O, and Q—giving bowls a rounded-rectangle geometry rather than a purely circular one. Counters are open and clean, terminals are blunt, and the overall spacing feels generous, producing an airy texture even at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its wide stance and crisp slabs can set a distinctive tone—headlines, branding, packaging, posters, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. The open shapes and consistent stroke weight also make it a strong choice for short blocks of text where a clean, technical character is desired.
The font conveys a precise, engineered tone with a restrained retro flavor. Its squared curves and tidy slabs create a calm, methodical voice that feels contemporary yet reminiscent of early digital or instrument-panel lettering. The overall impression is cool, controlled, and slightly futuristic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with geometric, squared-round letterforms for a modern, systematized voice. Its consistent weight, blunt terminals, and controlled curvature suggest a focus on clarity, repeatable shapes, and a distinctive wide display presence.
Uppercase forms appear particularly wide with prominent horizontals, and the lowercase maintains a clear, straightforward construction with minimal stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, keeping a consistent visual system across letters and figures, which supports a cohesive, systematic look.
