A sharply rectilinear serif with mostly uniform, straight strokes and abrupt, squared turns. Serifs are small and beak-like, often expressed as short horizontal projections that reinforce a constructed, architectural feel rather than a calligraphic one. Curves are minimized into boxy counters and squared bowls, with rounded forms (like O and C) rendered as near-rectangles with softened corners. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow interior spaces and crisp terminals; numerals and capitals appear slightly more compact and rigid, while lowercase maintains similarly angular construction with tall ascenders and simple, stem-led joins.
Best suited to display settings where its boxy curves and engineered serifs can be appreciated—headlines, posters, identity marks, and packaging. It can also work for short informational text in signage or UI labels when a technical, retro-architectural tone is desired, though dense paragraph text may appear heavy in texture.
The overall tone is mechanical and engineered, suggesting signage, stenciled labeling, or early digital/arcade-era typography—confident, utilitarian, and slightly futuristic. Its squared forms and strict geometry create a cool, technical mood that reads as retro-industrial rather than traditional bookish.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret a serif skeleton through geometric, rectilinear construction, prioritizing crisp corners, compact counters, and repeatable modular shapes. The aim seems to be a distinctive, functional display serif that evokes technical drafting and retro machine labeling.
The design leans on repeated right angles and consistent terminal treatment, which produces strong texture in paragraphs but can feel rigid at small sizes. The distinctive squared curves and beaked serif cues give it a recognizable display character, especially in uppercase and figures.
