A condensed, low-contrast slab serif with a monoline feel and crisp, square terminals. The slabs are unbracketed and read as short, straight caps at stroke ends, while many curves are drawn with softened corners, giving bowls and joints a squared-off, rounded-rectangle geometry. Proportions are tall and compact with tight internal spacing, and the overall rhythm is orderly and vertical. Diagonals are clean and narrow, and the figures follow the same rectilinear construction, with angular turns and open, simplified forms.
Works well for concise headlines, signage, labels, and packaging where a compact footprint and a structured look are useful. It can also suit interface or dashboard-style typography when a technical, space-efficient voice is desired.
The tone is technical and slightly retro, like labeling on instruments or mid-century industrial graphics. Its restrained detailing and consistent stroke behavior convey a practical, engineered personality rather than a decorative one.
Likely intended to deliver a compact slab-serif voice with a modern, engineered geometry—combining square-ended serifs with softened rectangular curves to achieve a distinctive, systematized look that remains readable in display applications.
The design leans on repeated modular shapes—straight stems, short slabs, and squared curves—which creates a cohesive, system-like texture in paragraphs. In longer text it maintains a light, airy color, but the narrow set and tall forms make it feel best suited to display sizes or short runs.
