A condensed, monoline slab-serif with an angular, squared construction. Strokes maintain an even weight with minimal modulation, and terminals resolve into flat, rectangular slabs that read crisp and mechanical. Curves are tightened into rounded-rect forms (notably in C, G, O, and numerals), while joints and corners stay sharp, giving the design a rigid, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and simple, straight-sided bowls, producing a uniform, gridlike texture in text.
Works best in display roles where its condensed width and squared detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, labels, and signage. It can also suit branding systems that want an engineered, architectural voice, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a precise, utilitarian character. Its squared curves and crisp slab endings suggest a retro signage or drafting sensibility, conveying structure and discipline rather than softness or ornament.
The type appears designed to deliver a compact, high-structure slab-serif voice with a distinctly squared, technical finish—prioritizing consistent rhythm, efficient width, and a mechanical clarity suitable for modern-retro display typography.
The design’s narrow proportions and consistent stroke endings create strong vertical emphasis and a clean, repeatable pattern in continuous text. Numerals follow the same squared, condensed logic, pairing well with the caps for data-like settings.
