A rectilinear, hairline slab-serif design built from straight strokes and sharp corners, with flat, squared terminals and thin, uniform line weight throughout. Serifs read as narrow horizontal bars that extend cleanly from stems, reinforcing a boxy, constructed silhouette. Curves are largely replaced by angled segments and stepped joins, giving round letters a faceted, polygonal feel. Counters are generally open and square, and the overall rhythm is modular and grid-like, with deliberate asymmetries and occasional unconventional joins that emphasize a drafted, engineered structure.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, logotypes, and graphic identities where a technical or architectural voice is desired. It can work for short editorial pull quotes, packaging, and event graphics—especially when paired with ample leading and tracking to keep the hairline structure clear.
The tone is technical and retro-futurist, evoking drafting templates, schematics, and early digital or plotter-era lettering. Its geometric rigidity and quirky constructions lend an experimental, puzzle-like character—cool, precise, and slightly eccentric rather than warm or calligraphic.
Likely intended as a constructed, geometric slab serif that translates a grid-and-rule aesthetic into a distinctive display alphabet. The design prioritizes a schematic, engineered look with faceted curves and squared detailing to create a memorable, retro-technical signature in titles and branding.
In text, the very thin strokes and dense right angles create a crisp but busy texture; the design reads most confidently when given enough size or generous spacing. Distinctive, angular treatments on traditionally curved forms add personality but can reduce familiarity in long passages, making the face feel more display-oriented despite having complete text proportions.
