A wide, monoline serif design with squared-off curves and flat terminals that read as slab-like throughout. Counters are roomy and geometric, with rounded rectangles in letters like O and D and a squared, open C. Serifs are short and firm, giving a constructed, engineered feel, while joins stay clean and mechanical with minimal contrast. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, and the overall rhythm is steady and horizontal, emphasizing width and clarity.
Best suited to display sizes where its wide proportions and squared details can define a layout—headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and identity systems. It also works well for interface labels or technical diagrams when a robust, engineered voice is desired, especially in short text runs.
The tone feels technical and retro-modern at the same time—like labeling on equipment, mid-century schematics, or architectural titling. Its wide stance and squared forms project a calm, methodical confidence rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to blend geometric squareness with slab-like firmness, producing a clear, constructed display face that holds its shape in bold layouts. It prioritizes consistent stroke weight, crisp terminals, and wide letterforms to create an industrial, systematized texture.
The numerals share the same rounded-rect geometry and sturdy finishing, keeping a consistent texture across mixed alphanumerics. The shapes are optimized for strong silhouette and spacing presence, making lines look deliberate and “set” on a grid.
