A decorative serif with a geometric, squared-off construction softened by rounded corners. Strokes are predominantly monolinear in feel, with subtle contrast and frequent flared or wedge-like terminals that read as stylized serifs. Many curves resolve into flattened arcs and straight segments, giving bowls and counters a squarish, engineered look; apertures are generally open and the shapes stay compact and controlled. The overall rhythm is steady and horizontal, with broad capitals and sturdy numerals that maintain consistent weight and strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where its stylized serifs and geometric curves can be appreciated. It can work well for logos, branding systems, packaging, and poster typography that aims for a tech, retro-futurist, or industrial mood. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes where the terminal details remain crisp and intentional.
The tone feels futuristic and tech-adjacent, with a distinctly retro sci‑fi flavor. Its angular-yet-rounded forms evoke industrial design, arcade-era signage, and space-age branding—confident, assertive, and slightly playful without becoming informal.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif cues with a contemporary, engineered geometry, creating a distinctive display voice that signals technology and retro futurism while retaining a structured, typographic seriousness.
In text, the distinctive terminals and squared curves become a prominent texture, especially in repeated round letters and in the numerals. The design reads best when given room, as the decorative serif treatments and engineered geometry are key to its character.
