A condensed, monoline slab serif with tall proportions and a strongly rectilinear build. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, and terminals resolve into small, square slab-like feet and caps that stay crisp and unbracketed. Curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle forms (notably in bowls and counters), giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Spacing reads even and disciplined, supporting a tidy rhythm in both all-caps grids and mixed-case text.
Works well for compact headlines, labels, and signage where space is limited but a sturdy, structured serif presence is desired. It also suits packaging and editorial subheads that benefit from a measured, technical texture, and it can perform in UI or dashboard contexts for short strings, navigation, and numeric readouts.
The overall tone is technical and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling, instruments, and mid-century signage. Its narrow stance and squared detailing feel precise and controlled rather than expressive, suggesting efficiency and clarity.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-efficient slab serif with a clean, engineered personality—balancing a modern monoline construction with squared, unbracketed serifs for a practical, display-forward voice.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle counters and squared-off joins create a consistent geometric voice across letters and numerals. The figures follow the same condensed, straight-sided logic, helping the font maintain a uniform texture in text blocks and data-like settings.
