A compact, rectilinear slab serif with square, flat-ended serifs and a largely monoline stroke. The letterforms lean on straight stems, right angles, and chamfer-like corners, giving the shapes a constructed, modular feel. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and terminals finish bluntly, producing a firm, high-ink presence. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the overall rhythm stays disciplined and grid-like, with tall ascenders/descenders and crisp joins.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its square serifs and tight counters can read as intentional texture. It works well for posters, labels, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from a sturdy, industrial voice. In longer reading sizes, the dense, rectilinear forms are likely to feel more decorative than neutral.
The tone is mechanical and no-nonsense, evoking utilitarian signage, stamped lettering, and typewriter-era display. Its rigid geometry and heavy-looking slabs create a rugged, industrial confidence with a distinctly retro, engineered character.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, engineered slab-serif look with a compact footprint and a distinctive square-ended finish. It prioritizes geometric consistency and a manufactured, stamped-like presence for impactful display typography.
The numerals follow the same boxy logic, with squared bowls and angular interior cutouts that keep forms legible in a compact footprint. The lowercase maintains a strong architectural feel, with rectangular counters and flat terminals that emphasize structure over softness.
