A heavy, squared serif design with softened corners and compact internal counters. Strokes are predominantly straight and planar, with modest contrast and sturdy, bracket-like terminals that read as serifs without becoming slabby. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) are rounded-rectangle forms, and joins often show a slight ink-trap-like notching that reinforces a mechanical, stamped look. Lowercase maintains a large x-height and simplified structures, producing dense, even color in text.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and clear silhouette matter: headlines, posters, signage, and branding elements like labels and packaging. It can also work for short, emphatic text blocks where a dense, sturdy texture is desirable.
The overall tone is firm and utilitarian, with a distinctly industrial and vintage-advertising flavor. Its blocky shapes and squared curves suggest durability and authority, evoking workwear labels, equipment markings, and classic collegiate signage.
The design appears intended to blend serif conventions with a squared, engineered construction, delivering a robust display face that stays legible while projecting a rugged, manufactured character.
The rhythm is tight and steady, with minimal modulation and consistent terminal treatment across cases and figures. Numerals follow the same squared geometry, giving sets of numbers a signage-friendly, uniform presence.
