A sturdy slab-serif design with squared, flat-ended serifs and largely monoline stroke weight. Curves are generously rounded but contained within rectilinear, boxy proportions, giving many glyphs a softly squared silhouette. Counters are open and simple, with a consistent rhythm and even spacing in text. Terminals and joins feel engineered and deliberate, and the numeral set follows the same squared, open construction for a uniform, system-like look.
Well-suited for signage, labels, and packaging where a robust, industrial voice is desired. It also works effectively for posters and display typography that needs a technical, structured presence while remaining readable in short text blocks.
The overall tone is practical and mechanical, evoking labeling, machinery, and technical documentation. Its squared detailing and even color lend a confident, no-nonsense feel, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to combine the familiarity of a slab serif with a squared, engineered finish, prioritizing sturdiness and clear forms. Its consistent stroke behavior and flat serifs suggest an aim toward practical legibility with a distinctive industrial flavor.
In the sample text, the face maintains strong clarity at large sizes and a steady texture across lines, with distinctive slab accents that reinforce word shapes. The design’s squarish bowls and flat serifs give it a slightly retro, equipment-era character without becoming decorative.
