A crisp slab-serif design with a strongly rectilinear construction and square-ended terminals. Strokes stay fairly even, while the slab serifs read as bold, blocky attachments that give letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Curves are controlled and geometric (notably in round letters), with generous internal counters and clear joins that keep shapes open in text. The overall rhythm is orderly and consistent, balancing hard corners with smooth arcs for a clean, structured texture.
Well-suited for editorial typography, headlines, and subheads where its structured slabs and geometric forms can carry presence without becoming overly decorative. It also fits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from an architectural, engineered flavor and crisp, print-friendly letterforms.
The tone is confident and functional, with a modernist, slightly retro inflection reminiscent of technical lettering and mid-century editorial typography. Its squared details and firm serifs project stability and clarity, giving text a composed, authoritative voice rather than a delicate or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, square-serif voice that reads cleanly while signaling modernist structure and precision. Its consistent geometry and prominent slab terminals suggest a focus on clarity, stability, and a distinctive editorial/technical character.
In the sample text, the font maintains a steady, even color with strong letter separation, and the square serifs add a subtle horizontal emphasis that helps lines feel anchored. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, pairing rounded bowls with flat terminals for a coherent, utilitarian set.
