A sturdy slab-serif with squared, flat terminals and crisp, angular joins. Strokes are low-contrast and consistently weighted, with a slightly condensed, engineered feel created by straight-sided counters and clipped corners in rounded forms (notably in C, G, O, and 0). Serifs read as firm rectangular brackets rather than flared calligraphic shapes, reinforcing a rigid, modular rhythm. Numerals are similarly geometric, with an octagonal 0 and compact, sign-like forms that hold their shape at display sizes.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging labels, and wayfinding or informational signage where a strong, constructed texture is desirable. It can also support branding that aims for an industrial, workshop, or technical aesthetic, especially in short text settings.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a retro-industrial character reminiscent of stamping, labeling, and utilitarian signage. Its squared geometry and heavy slabs give it an assertive, workmanlike presence while staying orderly and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, square-shouldered slab serif with a deliberately engineered geometry—favoring straight edges, clipped curves, and firm terminals to create a confident, utilitarian texture for prominent typographic use.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent mechanical construction; the lowercase keeps clear, simplified shapes that echo the same straight-and-square logic. The face reads best when allowed some breathing room, where the sharp corners and block serifs can stay distinct.
