A sturdy slab-serif with a monospaced, grid-like rhythm and compact proportions. Strokes are straight and even, with heavy, squared-off slab serifs that often show subtle bracketing and slightly scooped joins, giving some letters an ink-trap-like bite where stems meet. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, producing a dense, print-forward texture. Rounded forms (like O/C) are squarish in feel, and the overall silhouette favors strong verticals and flat terminals.
Works well where strict alignment and a rugged texture are assets: coding displays, terminal-style interfaces, data tables, and system-like labels. It also suits packaging, signage, and editorial headlines that want a vintage mechanical or industrial voice, and can be used for short bursts of body copy when a dense, monospaced color is desired.
The tone is practical and mechanical, evoking stamped signage and typewriter-era ephemera. Its blunt slabs and disciplined spacing lend a workmanlike, no-nonsense character with a retro-industrial edge.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable monospaced slab-serif voice with strong presence and clear, repeatable spacing. The chunky slabs and slightly scooped joins suggest an intention to remain solid and legible under rough reproduction conditions while maintaining a distinctive, retro-mechanical personality.
Capitals read especially authoritative due to their broad slabs and firm baseline presence, while the lowercase keeps the same robust construction for consistent color in paragraphs. Numerals match the same blocky, engineered treatment, reinforcing the uniform, coded look typical of fixed-width designs.
