A rectilinear slab serif with consistent, thin strokes and sharp, square-ended terminals. The design favors straight lines and right angles, with boxy counters and flat, bracketless slabs that give letters a constructed, schematic feel. Curves are minimized or faceted, and joins stay clean and orthogonal, creating a crisp rhythm. Proportions are relatively narrow with compact sidebearings, while capitals and numerals keep a tall, disciplined stance that reads clearly at display sizes.
Works well for headlines, packaging, labeling, and wayfinding where a crisp, engineered voice is desirable. It can also serve in posters or UI-style callouts that benefit from narrow proportions and strong, square terminals, though its angular texture will be most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels technical and retro-industrial, like labeling on instruments, schematics, or mid-century equipment. Its squared geometry and no-nonsense detailing convey precision and restraint rather than warmth or calligraphy.
The font appears designed to translate slab-serif cues into a strictly geometric, square-built system, prioritizing clarity and a mechanical, constructed aesthetic. It aims for a compact footprint and a consistent, technical texture suitable for display and functional typography.
The lowercase shows a straightforward, engineered structure with minimal modulation and distinctly squared bowls and shoulders, which emphasizes a grid-like texture in text. Numerals follow the same rigid construction, producing a consistent, signage-friendly color when set in sequences.
