A sturdy slab-serif with blunt, square-ended terminals and a largely monolinear stroke feel. The letterforms are wide with generous interior space and even rhythm, producing a clear, mechanical texture in lines of text. Serifs are heavy and rectangular, and many joins show slight angular notches that read like ink traps or carved intersections, reinforcing a rugged, engineered look. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward construction with a single-storey “a” and “g,” while figures are open and prominent with a distinctive slashed zero for differentiation.
Well-suited for environments that benefit from strict alignment and clear character distinction, such as code snippets, terminal-style UI, and tabular data. It also fits utilitarian print and on-screen applications like forms, technical documentation, equipment labels, and wayfinding where a sturdy slab-serif presence is desirable.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, recalling labeling, machinery markings, and classic typewriter or teleprinter output. Its blunt slabs and consistent cadence convey reliability and authority more than elegance, with a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to technical or archival contexts.
This design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable slab-serif voice within a strictly aligned, systematized framework. The heavy rectangular serifs, low-contrast strokes, and differentiated numerals suggest a focus on functional clarity for technical reading and structured information.
Text samples show strong character separation and consistent spacing that maintains alignment, supporting tabular and code-like setting. The design balances assertive serifs with ample counters, which helps preserve clarity even as the shapes lean blocky and compact at the joins.
