A wide, monoline slab-serif with square terminals and unbracketed, blocky serifs that read as integrated caps rather than calligraphic details. Corners are consistently softened with small radiused joins, giving many glyphs a squared-off, rounded-rectangle skeleton (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals). The design balances rigid horizontals with clean verticals, keeps curves controlled and geometric, and maintains open apertures and generous internal spacing for clarity. Numerals echo the same boxy, rounded construction, with a particularly rectangular 0 and squared, segmented forms in 2–9 that reinforce the modular rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where the wide stance and slab detailing can carry a bold, architectural presence. It works well for signage, technical or industrial branding, and display typography in posters or UI/label contexts where a clean, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern-mechanical with a hint of late-20th-century techno styling: precise, engineered, and deliberately restrained. Rounded corners soften the severity, keeping it approachable while still feeling structured and functional.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif authority with a geometric, rounded-corner construction, producing a sturdy display face that feels manufactured and contemporary. Its consistent, modular shaping suggests an emphasis on repeatable forms and clear, high-contrast silhouettes for impactful setting.
Uppercase forms lean toward a constructed, signage-oriented feel, while lowercase retains a compact, pragmatic texture suited to continuous reading at larger sizes. The consistent terminal treatment and squared curves create strong alignment and an even typographic color, making the face feel systematic and tool-like.
