A rectilinear slab-serif with squared, unbracketed terminals and a largely monoline stroke feel. Letterforms are built from straight segments and crisp right angles, with occasional chamfered joins that keep counters open and geometry consistent. The proportions read broad and steady, with generous sidebearings and a calm rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals lean toward modular, almost sign-painted construction, while lowercase maintains the same squared logic and firm baseline anchoring.
This font suits display use where a sturdy, technical voice is desired—headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short text blocks and captions when you want a consistent, engineered texture, especially in layouts that favor grids and sharp geometry.
The overall tone is mechanical and workmanlike, evoking labeling, drafting, and equipment markings. Its boxy serifs and angular construction give it a retro-industrial flavor that feels precise rather than expressive, with a no-nonsense, engineered presence.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif readability into a more modular, squared system, prioritizing crisp edges and uniform stroke behavior. It aims for a practical, industrial look that remains legible while delivering a distinctive mechanical character.
Crossbars and arms tend to terminate in flat slabs, reinforcing a strong horizontal emphasis. Curves are minimized and often rendered as squared or faceted forms, which creates a distinctive, slightly techno texture in longer passages of text.
