A geometric, monoline slab-serif design built from straight strokes and faceted curves that read as octagonal rather than round. Corners are sharply mitered, with small rectangular slabs and spur-like terminals that give many strokes a pegged, constructed look. Proportions feel open and slightly extended, with steady spacing and a crisp, schematic rhythm; round letters like O/C/G are noticeably polygonal, and diagonals in V/W/X are clean and steep. Numerals follow the same engineered geometry, keeping consistent stroke weight and angular corners across the set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a technical or industrial voice is desired, and for signage or packaging that benefits from crisp, engineered letterforms. It can work for short paragraphs at comfortable sizes, but its faceted geometry and terminal detailing are most effective when given enough scale to remain legible and intentional.
The overall tone is precise and engineered, evoking drafting marks, technical labeling, and retro-futuristic instrumentation. Its faceted forms and pin-like details add a slightly mechanical, utilitarian character rather than a literary or calligraphic feel.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif structure into a modular, polygonal system, prioritizing a constructed, blueprint-like appearance over softness or traditional serif calligraphy. It aims to deliver a distinctive technical flavor while retaining familiar serif letter silhouettes for clear recognition.
In text, the repeated facets and small slab details create a distinctive texture that favors display sizes, where the angular construction reads clearly. The design maintains a consistent system of terminals across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, modular aesthetic.
