A crisp, monoline slab-serif with a distinctly angular construction. Curves are regularly faceted into chamfered, near-octagonal shapes, and many joins and terminals resolve into flat, squared ends. Serifs are sturdy and rectangular, keeping a consistent stroke presence, while counters stay open and geometric. The lowercase follows the same engineered logic, with boxy bowls and simplified curves, giving the design a measured, mechanical rhythm across text.
Works well for technical or industrial branding, labeling, and signage where an engineered, geometric voice is desirable. It can also serve in headlines, UI motifs, or packaging that benefits from a clean retro-technical aesthetic, and remains readable in short-to-medium text blocks thanks to its straightforward, low-contrast construction.
The overall tone is technical and utilitarian, evoking engineered labeling, drafting templates, and early computer or industrial typography. Its faceted geometry adds a subtle retro feel while staying clean and disciplined, projecting precision more than warmth.
Likely designed to blend slab-serif robustness with geometric, template-like construction—prioritizing consistent strokes, clear silhouettes, and a distinctive faceted curve treatment. The intent reads as a modernized industrial/drafting style that stays legible while delivering a recognizable, engineered personality.
Caps and figures show especially strong polygonal rounding, with characters like O/0 and 8 reading as structured, chamfered forms rather than true curves. The spacing and shapes favor clarity and uniformity, producing a steady texture in paragraphs and a confident, sign-like presence in display settings.
