A sturdy slab-serif with squared-off terminals and a largely uniform stroke thickness. The letterforms are broad and evenly proportioned, with compact curves that turn into flat, blunt ends, giving a distinctly blocky silhouette. Serifs are heavy and rectangular, and corners feel deliberately engineered rather than calligraphic. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simplified, pragmatic construction; counters are open and clear, and overall spacing reads consistent and grid-like.
Well-suited for technical or instructional layouts where an even rhythm and sturdy shapes help scanning—such as code snippets, terminals, or tables. The strong slabs and broad forms also work well for impactful headings in posters, labels, and packaging where a rugged, utilitarian voice is desired.
The design conveys a no-nonsense, mechanical tone—practical, dependable, and slightly retro. Its blunt serifs and squared geometry suggest industrial labeling and classic typewriter-era utility, with an assertive presence that stays readable even when set tightly.
The type appears designed to combine the disciplined rhythm of fixed-width typography with the authority of bold slab serifs, prioritizing clarity, consistent texture, and a mechanical, workmanlike character.
Numerals are bold and straightforward with strong verticals and slabby feet, matching the alphabet’s rigid rhythm. Diagonals (like in V, W, X, Y) maintain the same sturdy weight, and rounded letters (O, Q, e) keep a controlled, slightly squared curvature that reinforces the engineered feel.
