A geometric, square-serif design built from crisp straight strokes and right angles, with minimal curvature and an overall rectilinear skeleton. Serifs read as flat, slabby caps that echo the squared terminals throughout, creating a strongly modular rhythm. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S are rendered with chamfered corners and squarish bowls rather than smooth arcs, reinforcing the font’s grid-first construction. Spacing and proportions feel open and slightly expanded, while the narrow stroke keeps the texture airy and crisp in both uppercase and lowercase, with simplified, engineered forms for figures and punctuation-like details (e.g., the i/j dots).
Best suited to display settings where its square construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding accents, and product or packaging labels. It also works well for signage, wayfinding, and UI or dashboard labels where a technical, grid-based aesthetic is desired and generous letterspacing can help maintain clarity at smaller sizes.
The tone is clinical and constructed, evoking drafting, labeling, and early-digital or sci‑fi interface typography. Its squared geometry and restrained contrast lend a cool, systematic voice that feels modernist and technical with a hint of retro computer-era character.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif structure into a modular, squared system that feels engineered and consistent across cases and figures. It prioritizes geometric regularity and a crisp, technical presence over traditional serif warmth.
The lowercase maintains the same rectilinear logic as the caps, producing a uniform, schematic feel rather than a calligraphic one. Numerals are similarly box-built with clear corners and flat terminals, favoring a diagrammatic look over softness.
