A condensed, monoline slab-serif with a distinctly angular construction and squared-off terminals. Curves are minimized into faceted arcs and chamfered corners, giving bowls and rounds a polygonal feel. Serifs are short, flat, and blocky, often reading like little brackets at stroke ends, while spacing stays tight and rhythmically consistent for a compact texture. Figures and capitals follow the same hard-edged logic, with open counters and clean, straight joins that keep the overall color even and restrained.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a compact, technical voice is useful and the faceted forms can be appreciated. It also works well for labels, interfaces, and short UI strings that benefit from a narrow footprint and clear, squared construction.
The tone is mechanical and matter-of-fact, with a subtly retro, drafting-room character. Its sharp, squared detailing suggests engineered objects, labels, and systems rather than expressive handwriting, projecting a precise and utilitarian mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact slab-serif with a hard-edged, geometric draw—prioritizing a technical, industrial presence and a consistent monoline rhythm over calligraphic modulation.
Several glyphs lean on octagonal/hexagonal bowl shapes and clipped terminals, which heightens the “machined” impression in running text. The condensed proportions and firm slab endings create a tall, structured silhouette that stays distinctive at display sizes.
