A crisp, monoline slab serif with a boxy, squared skeleton softened by rounded corners and smooth curves. Strokes stay even and mechanical, with flat slab-like feet and terminals that create a stable, engineered texture. Counters are generous and apertures are fairly open, while curves (notably in C/G/O and the lowercase bowls) are drawn with a rounded-rectangle feel rather than purely circular geometry. Numerals follow the same squared, modular logic, keeping a consistent rhythm and clear silhouettes.
Well-suited for interface labels, wayfinding, product packaging, and headings where a structured, engineered look is desired. It also works in editorial pull quotes or short paragraphs when you want a clean, slab-accented texture that stays legible and orderly.
The overall tone feels technical and systematic, like labeling or instrumentation, with a subtle retro-modern flavor. Its squared forms and steady spacing read as practical and composed rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to blend the authority and stability of slab serifs with a compact, squared industrial geometry. Its consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest a goal of clarity and friendliness without losing a precise, technical edge.
In the sample text, the face maintains a strong horizontal rhythm and clean line breaks, with sturdy word shapes and clear punctuation. The lowercase shows a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, reinforcing the functional, modernist character.
