A sturdy slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a largely monolinear stroke feel. Many curves are subtly faceted, giving rounds like O, C, and 0 a chamfered, near-octagonal contour. Terminals are crisp and horizontal, with pronounced slab feet and compact joins that keep counters open and shapes legible. The overall rhythm is steady and text-friendly, with firm verticals and slightly angular details that add structure without becoming ornamental.
Well-suited to signage, labels, and display applications where sturdy shapes and crisp serifs hold up at distance. It also works for editorial headlines and short passages that benefit from a structured, utilitarian voice, and for packaging or branding that aims for a rugged, institutional, or workshop-inspired character.
The faceted rounds and square-cut slabs create a tough, engineered tone that feels industrial and dependable. Its straightforward, no-nonsense construction also reads slightly retro, evoking utilitarian signage and classic athletic or institutional lettering.
The design appears intended to merge classic slab-serif solidity with a more geometric, machined finish, using faceted curves and square joins to emphasize durability and clarity. It prioritizes a consistent, disciplined texture across text while retaining enough distinctive angles to stand out in display settings.
Uppercase forms present a strong, blocky silhouette, while the lowercase introduces readable, traditional text proportions that help in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same chamfered, squared-off logic, reinforcing a consistent, tool-made aesthetic across alphanumerics.
