A sturdy slab-serif design with heavy, square-ended terminals and a consistent vertical rhythm. Strokes are largely uniform with crisp joins and minimal curvature, producing a blocky, high-ink presence on the page. Counters tend toward compact, rounded rectangles, and the serifs read as unbracketed, firmly attached slabs that emphasize a mechanical, stamped texture. Overall spacing is even and systematic, supporting a tight grid-like cadence in both all-caps and mixed-case text.
Well suited to situations that benefit from a strong, mechanical voice: labeling systems, packaging, editorial callouts, and bold headlines. The regular spacing and sturdy forms also make it a natural fit for code-like layouts, technical tables, and any design that wants a dependable typewriter-inspired texture.
The tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, evoking typewritten documents, labeling, and mid-century office or industrial printing. Its dense black color and squared details add a no-nonsense authority, with a faintly nostalgic, analog feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a solid, reproducible slab-serif texture with a typewriter/industrial flavor—prioritizing uniform rhythm, high legibility, and a confident, ink-heavy presence in practical settings.
The lowercase includes a single-storey “a” and a compact “g,” reinforcing the straightforward, utilitarian personality. Numerals are robust and highly legible, designed to hold their shape under heavy ink coverage and reproduce clearly in short runs or rougher print conditions.
