A rectilinear serif design built from consistent, even-weight strokes and crisp right angles. Serifs are square and unbracketed, creating a rigid, engineered rhythm with little contrast and minimal curvature. Bowls and rounds are simplified into faceted, near-rectangular forms, while terminals and joins stay clean and orthogonal. Spacing and proportions feel methodical, with open counters and a slightly modular, constructed look that holds up clearly in text.
Well-suited to signage, display typography, and titling where a constructed, technical voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages and product/packaging labels when a crisp, schematic texture and strong glyph differentiation are priorities.
The overall tone is technical and architectural, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of drafting, labeling, and instrument markings. Its disciplined geometry reads as pragmatic and no-nonsense, projecting precision more than warmth.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif structure into a highly geometric, engineered system: square serifs, faceted curves, and monoline strokes create a consistent, modular texture that feels purpose-built for clear, orderly communication.
Several characters show distinctive angular “notches” and faceted corners that reinforce the fabricated, stencil-adjacent feel, while the straight-sided curves keep texture uniform across lines. Numerals follow the same squared construction, giving figures a tidy, schematic presence.
