A condensed, monoline slab serif with squared, lightly chamfered corners that give many curves an octagonal feel. Strokes remain even with minimal contrast, while the slab serifs are straight and blocky with flat terminals. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, and the rhythm is tight with a strong vertical emphasis. The lowercase shows a tall x-height relative to ascenders, keeping text dense and efficient; figures follow the same squared, engineered construction.
Works well where a compact, high-impact serif is needed: signage, wayfinding-style graphics, labels, packaging, and condensed headlines. It also suits technical or industrial-themed layouts and short editorial callouts where its squared construction becomes a recognizable signature.
The overall tone feels mechanical and drafted—clean, no-nonsense, and slightly retro in a signage and labeling way. Its angular rounding reads as engineered rather than calligraphic, creating a precise, tool-like voice.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving slab serif that remains legible and consistent, using squared curves and flat terminals to evoke engineered precision. The goal appears to be a distinctive, structured texture suitable for display and functional typographic systems.
The design’s consistent corner treatment and flat-ended slabs make it feel modular and systematic, maintaining clarity even as forms stay narrow. The texture in paragraphs is even and structured, with a distinctive boxy silhouette that stands out without relying on heavy weight.
