A sturdy slab serif with uniform, monoline-like stroke weight and square-ended terminals. The letterforms are wide and compactly built, with blunt, bracketless serifs that read as rectangular blocks. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and curves (notably in O, C, and S) are rounded but kept tight against the heavy rhythm of the stems. Overall spacing and alignment feel mechanically even, reinforcing a strongly regular, gridlike texture in text.
Well-suited to coding and terminal-style interfaces where strict character alignment is required, as well as bold editorial headlines, posters, and packaging labels that benefit from a blocky slab-serif voice. It can also work for technical documentation or tables when a strong, clearly segmented texture is desired.
The tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, evoking typewriter and industrial signage cues. Its heavy, squared serifs add a no-nonsense authority, giving paragraphs a deliberate, editorial presence and a slightly retro, utilitarian character.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly regular slab-serif look with a mechanical, monospaced rhythm. Its square terminals and heavy serifs prioritize firmness and clarity over delicacy, aiming for a dependable, utilitarian presence across text and display use.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected (a, g) and a sturdy, straight-shouldered construction throughout; the numerals are wide and highly stable, with a particularly prominent 8 and a strongly footed 1. In continuous text, the consistent width and dense vertical stems create a firm cadence that favors short lines and emphatic settings.
