A wide-set, monoline slab serif with squared construction and softly rounded corners. Strokes maintain an even weight with minimal modulation, and terminals resolve into flat, rectangular slabs that give the letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are generous and often rectangular/rounded-rectangle in character, while curves (notably C, G, O, Q, and the numerals) are drawn as squarish ovals rather than true circles. Spacing reads open and stable, with a consistent, mechanical rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited for display settings where its broad proportions and squared forms can read confidently: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks with an industrial or tech-leaning voice. It can also work for signage and UI-style labeling when set with ample space, especially where a distinctive, engineered slab serif texture is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and retro-modern—pragmatic rather than expressive. Its squared curves and robust slabs suggest machinery, instrumentation, and display labeling, while the softened corners keep the voice approachable and calm.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif solidity with a square, rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing a clear, systematized look. Its consistent stroke weight and wide stance aim to produce strong presence and high recognizability in short-to-medium text settings.
Distinctive shapes include a boxy, rounded-rect "O" and similarly squared bowls on "D" and "P", plus a compact, structured lowercase with simple, sturdy joins. The numerals follow the same squarish geometry, creating a cohesive alphanumeric set suited to systems where consistency and clarity matter.
