A chunky slab-serif with squarish, rounded-rectangle construction and a strong, dark color on the page. Strokes are generally heavy and even, with noticeable shaping at joins and corners that reads like ink-trap or stencil-inspired notches. Serifs are blocky and robust, often with small stepped details that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, and the overall geometry favors straight sides and softened corners over calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to display work where its strong slabs and squared counters can read clearly: posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for signage or UI accents when used in short strings with ample spacing.
The face conveys a tough, industrial tone with a slightly retro, display-forward attitude. Its built-up slabs and machined-looking corners feel practical and authoritative, lending a rugged, utilitarian personality to short messages and headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable slab-serif voice with engineered, squared-off forms and distinctive corner detailing, prioritizing impact and a mechanical texture over quiet text neutrality.
Uppercase forms appear particularly sturdy and uniform, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic detailing at terminals that adds texture at larger sizes. The heavy weight and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable with generous tracking and line spacing, especially in longer settings.
