A monoline slab-serif design with square, unbracketed serifs and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal, machined feel. Strokes remain even throughout, with geometric construction in rounded forms (notably the O/C/G and numerals), and crisp terminals that emphasize straight edges over curves. Proportions are generous and horizontally expansive, with steady spacing and a clear, sturdy rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to display settings where a technical, constructed voice is desired—such as signage, product labeling, packaging, and bold editorial headlines. It also works effectively for short blocks of text in UI-like contexts, diagrams, or specification-style layouts where consistent, squared forms improve clarity.
The overall tone is mechanical and industrial, evoking technical lettering, labeling, and engineered signage. Its squared geometry and clipped curves give it a retro-futurist, instrument-panel character rather than a literary or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with a geometric, chamfered construction, producing a typeface that feels engineered and precise. Its broad proportions and octagonal curves suggest an aim toward high-impact titles and legible, systematized typography for technical or industrial themes.
Capitals read as strong and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same squared logic, keeping counters open and shapes clean in text. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric strings look cohesive and system-like.
