A heavy, monospaced slab serif with blocky proportions and assertive, rectangular serifs. Strokes are thick with moderate internal contrast, and many terminals finish in squared, slightly bracketed slab forms that give the letters a stamped, sign-like solidity. Counters are relatively compact, curves are sturdy rather than delicate, and the overall rhythm is tightly spaced by the fixed-width character cells, producing a strong, even texture in lines of text. Numerals are similarly weighty and geometric, matching the caps’ mass and the lowercase’s sturdy construction.
Best suited to display settings where impact and structure matter: posters, bold headings, labels, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short monospaced text applications—such as interface callouts or code-styled snippets—when a slab-serif, vintage-industrial voice is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, mixing a workwear practicality with a faint old-time or frontier flavor. Its monospaced cadence and chunky slabs create a mechanical, dependable feel that reads as utilitarian and confident rather than refined.
The design appears intended to combine monospaced utility with the emphasis and presence of a bold slab serif. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent width, and a dense typographic color to deliver legibility and character in compact, high-impact compositions.
In running text, the uniform character width emphasizes a typewriter-like cadence, while the pronounced slabs add extra visual anchoring on the baseline and cap line. The silhouette remains highly consistent across the alphabet, favoring clear, stout shapes over nuance or delicacy.
