A squared, angular serif design with heavy, blocky terminals and subtly flared, wedge-like serif forms. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast texture, while corners are frequently chamfered or slightly rounded to avoid sharp brittleness. Counters tend toward squarish and rectangular shapes, and curves (as in C, G, O, S) are drawn as softened rectangles rather than true ovals. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a straightforward rhythm, and figures are geometric and boxy, with distinctive straight-sided forms and clipped corners.
Works best for headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where its squared forms and assertive terminals can be read as a deliberate style choice. It is particularly effective in short text settings—titles, labels, and display copy—where the geometric rhythm and mechanical flavor support an industrial or retro-technical theme.
The tone reads practical and mechanical, with a retro-industrial confidence that feels suited to labels, equipment markings, and bold editorial titling. Its squared geometry and firm serifs lend a technical, no-nonsense voice, while the chamfered details add a crafted, slightly vintage edge.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif cues with a geometric, engineered construction—prioritizing strong structure, clear silhouettes, and a distinctive squared rhythm for display-forward typography.
In text, the strong verticals and rectangular counters produce a dense, steady color that favors larger sizes. The design’s squared curves and prominent terminals create a distinctive silhouette that can feel attention-grabbing in headings and short phrases.
