A monoline slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a distinctly angular construction. Many curves are subtly faceted into octagonal forms, giving rounds like O/C/G and numerals a machined, chamfered feel. Proportions are fairly compact with steady vertical stress and open, legible counters; the serifs read as blunt blocks that reinforce a sturdy baseline and crisp horizontal rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, while details like the single-storey a and the looped descender on g keep the texture lively without becoming decorative.
Well suited to projects that want a typewriter-inspired slab texture with extra geometric sharpness—editorial pull quotes, packaging, posters, and headings for technical or industrial-themed design. Its steady rhythm and clear forms also make it a practical choice for short blocks of text, labels, and numbering where a sturdy, authoritative look is desired.
The overall tone is pragmatic and mechanical, evoking typewriter and workshop labeling aesthetics. Its sharp corners and slabby finish project a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels archival and technical at the same time.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif readability with a more engineered, faceted silhouette. By keeping strokes even and serifs square while angularizing the curves, it aims to feel both familiar and purpose-built, like printed output or stamped lettering.
In text, the even stroke and squared joins create a consistent grayscale, while the faceted rounding adds a distinctive bite at display sizes. The numerals share the same chamfered geometry, helping tables and codes look cohesive and orderly.
