A sturdy slab serif with heavy, nearly uniform strokes and crisp, square terminals. The letterforms are wide and evenly paced, with compact counters and flat-topped horizontals that create a strong rectangular rhythm. Serifs are blunt and bracket-free, giving the shapes a machined, stamped feel; joins and corners read as firm and angular, while curves are controlled and slightly squared off. In text, the spacing remains consistent and the overall color is dense, producing a strong, even texture across lines.
Best suited for short text where impact and structure are desirable—posters, headlines, product packaging, signage, and labeling systems. It can also support body text in applications that benefit from a rugged, typewriter-adjacent texture, especially when strong emphasis and consistent rhythm are priorities.
The tone is pragmatic and mechanical, echoing typewriter and industrial labeling aesthetics. Its weight and blocky construction feel assertive and functional rather than delicate or ornamental, projecting a no-nonsense, workmanlike character.
The design appears intended to deliver an industrial slab-serif voice with consistent, grid-like rhythm and strong presence. Its square serifs and robust proportions aim to maximize solidity and legibility while maintaining a distinctly mechanical, printed texture.
Round letters like O and Q retain a squarish tension, and the punctuation and figures keep the same blunt, engineered finish. The design emphasizes clarity and uniform rhythm over calligraphic nuance, making it visually stable and emphatic at a range of sizes.
