A compact slab-serif design with mostly even stroke weight and prominent, squared serifs that end in flat terminals. The outlines lean geometric, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the heavy slabs from feeling sharp. Curves are broadly drawn and open, with circular forms that stay stable and legible, while many horizontals and foot serifs form a consistent baseline rhythm. Overall proportions feel solid and slightly condensed in texture, producing a dark, confident line in text.
Well suited to headlines, labels, posters, and signage where a sturdy slab-serif texture is desirable. It can also work for editorial subheads, pull quotes, and branding systems that want a technical or industrial flavor without sacrificing readability.
The tone reads retro-industrial and workmanlike, evoking machinery labeling, stamped signage, and pragmatic editorial typography. The squared serifs and monoline construction give it a technical, no-nonsense voice, while the rounded corners add a friendly, crafted warmth rather than pure austerity.
Likely intended as a robust, modernized slab serif that blends geometric construction with softened corners for a reliable, contemporary-retro feel. The design emphasizes consistency and impact, aiming to deliver strong typographic color and clear silhouettes across display and short text use.
The alphabet shows a distinctive, squared serif vocabulary across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a consistent gridlike cadence. In running text, the strong serifs and uniform stroke weight increase presence and help anchor words, especially in mixed-case settings and short blocks of copy.
