This is an italic slab-serif with a crisp, engineered construction and consistent stroke weight. Curves are frequently faceted into straight segments, producing octagonal counters and chamfered corners, especially evident in round characters and numerals. Serifs are square and firm, creating a sturdy baseline presence while the italic slant keeps the rhythm forward-leaning and energetic. Overall proportions are fairly compact with tidy spacing, and the shapes maintain a disciplined, modular feel across caps, lowercase, and figures.
It suits headlines and short text where a technical, retro-industrial voice is desired, such as packaging, signage, and brand accents. The faceted curves and slab terminals also work well for labels, badges, and display settings where sturdiness and a crafted, mechanical texture are more important than neutrality.
The faceted geometry and square serifs give the font a mechanical, industrial flavor reminiscent of stamped labeling, drafting marks, or typewriter-adjacent display work. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency, balancing the rigid construction with a slightly spirited, pragmatic tone.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif solidity with an engineered, polygonal drawing style, delivering a distinctively mechanical italic that stands out in display use while remaining structured and consistent across the character set.
Round forms like O/0 and Q show polygonal shaping rather than smooth bowls, and several joins and terminals end in hard, cut angles instead of tapered calligraphic finishes. The figures share the same engineered logic, with angular bends and squared terminals that keep the set cohesive in labels and short numeric strings.
