A wide, monoline slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and pronounced horizontal slabs. Strokes maintain consistent thickness while corners are frequently chamfered into octagonal facets, giving rounds like C, G, O, and Q a cut, engineered profile rather than true curves. The letterforms feel built from straight segments with tight, squared counters and compact apertures, producing a dense, sturdy texture in text. Spacing reads generous and the overall footprint is broad, with strong baseline presence and clear, hard-edged silhouettes.
Best suited for display settings where its broad proportions and faceted slabs can read clearly, such as headlines, posters, signage, and strong brand marks. It can also work for short technical labels or packaging where a rugged, machined aesthetic is desired, while extended body text may feel heavy and visually insistent due to the wide set and dense texture.
The faceted geometry and squared slabs create an industrial, mechanical tone with a retro technical flavor—more machine-stamped than handwritten. It suggests utility and durability, with a slightly sci‑fi or arcade-like edge stemming from the chamfered curves and blocky rhythm.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif solidity with an angular, cut-corner construction, creating a typeface that feels fabricated rather than drawn. By repeating chamfered geometry across rounds, joints, and numerals, it aims for a consistent, mechanical voice that stands out in bold, graphic applications.
Lowercase forms echo the same angular construction, with single-storey a and g and slabby feet and arms that reinforce the engineered look. Numerals are equally geometric, with multiple clipped corners that keep them consistent with the octagonal round shapes. The overall rhythm emphasizes horizontal strength and sharp terminal decisions, making the design feel intentionally rigid and systematic.
