A heavy, angular slab-serif with octagonal curves and beveled corners that give round letters a squared-off feel. Strokes show pronounced contrast created by thick slabs and thinner connecting strokes, with frequent inline cutouts and small notches that read almost stencil-like across both cases. Counters are compact and geometric, apertures tend to be tight, and the overall rhythm is blocky and modular. The lowercase follows the same engineered construction as the uppercase, with simple, sturdy forms and squared terminals that keep texture dense and consistent in text.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the beveled geometry and inline cuts can be appreciated. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a tough, industrial tone; for extended reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font projects a rugged, machine-made character with a retro technical flavor. Its sharp chamfers and carved-in details suggest hardware, labeling, and engineered objects rather than handwriting or classical book typography.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with a constructed, machined aesthetic, using chamfered corners and intentional cutouts to create a distinctive, engineered signature.
The distinctive inline breaks and notched joins become a key identifying feature at display sizes, while in longer text they create a patterned texture that can feel busy. Numerals match the same octagonal, cut-in construction, reinforcing a cohesive, utilitarian system.
