A slanted, monoline slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and subtly softened corners. Strokes keep an even thickness throughout, with a wide set and generous internal space in letters like C, O, and e. Serifs read as compact horizontal/vertical blocks that stay clean at joins, giving a crisp, engineered texture. Numerals and lowercase show a slightly mechanical rhythm with open apertures and tidy, squared-off details.
This font suits technical documentation, UI/labeling, and signage where a precise, no-nonsense voice is helpful. The wide proportions and open counters also make it effective for packaging, editorial pull quotes, and poster headlines where a structured, retro-technical feel is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and retro, like labeling on instruments or mid-century documentation. Its steady stroke weight and squared terminals suggest practicality and clarity, while the italic slant adds a sense of forward motion and briskness.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with an italic, streamlined cadence. By keeping contrast minimal and terminals square, it emphasizes consistency and legibility while projecting an engineered, industrial character.
Round forms are slightly squared, producing a controlled, rectangular curve language. Diagonals (V, W, X, y) stay sharp and clean, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the face maintain a cohesive, streamlined color in text.
