A light, monoline serif with crisp, rectilinear construction softened by rounded outer corners. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, and many bowls and counters take on a squarish “rounded-rectangle” geometry (notably in O, C, D, Q, and the numerals). Serifs are small and sharply tapered, often appearing as pointed terminals on diagonals (A, V, W, Y) and neat horizontal feet on stems (I, L, T). Curves are controlled and mechanical rather than calligraphic, with open apertures and compact joins that keep the texture clean at display sizes.
Best suited to display contexts where its geometric construction and fine serifs can be appreciated—headlines, logos, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or technical titling where a distinctive, precise serif is desired, but extended text would benefit from generous sizing and spacing due to the light strokes and crisp details.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, combining classical serif cues with a techno, modular sensibility. Its sharp terminals and squared curves create a sleek, slightly sci‑fi voice that feels precise and intentional rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif framework with a futuristic, engineered geometry. By pairing sharp, tapered serifs with rounded-rectangular bowls and even strokes, it aims to feel both refined and technical, offering a distinctive alternative to conventional humanist or purely geometric sans approaches.
Uppercase forms are especially geometric, while the lowercase introduces a more mixed, contemporary rhythm (single-storey a, open e, and a structured g), which keeps text from feeling purely stencil-like. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic, giving interfaces and headings a consistent, systematized look.
