A compact slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The forms are upright and tightly proportioned, with a moderate x-height and short ascenders/descenders that keep lines feeling efficient and dense. Terminals and joins read as crisp and engineered, with minimal curvature; counters are fairly open for the width, and the overall rhythm is steady and structured. Figures are straightforward and workmanlike, matching the font’s blunt, rectilinear detailing.
This font is well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display copy where a strong, structured texture is desirable. It can also work for packaging and signage that benefits from an industrial, straightforward voice, and for editorial layouts seeking a classic slab-serif presence in short to medium passages.
The tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, with a classic print-and-typewriter-adjacent pragmatism. Its blocky slabs and compact stance give it a firm, institutional voice that can feel editorial and slightly retro without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif look with efficient spacing and a controlled, engineered silhouette. Its emphasis on square terminals, firm serifs, and consistent stroke behavior suggests a goal of reliability and impact in compact settings.
The texture in paragraph setting is dark and even, with strong horizontal emphasis from the slab serifs. The squared detailing and limited modulation help maintain clarity at larger sizes, while the compact proportions can make dense copy feel weighty.
