A sturdy slab-serif with square-ended terminals and a largely even stroke weight. Serifs are bold and block-like, giving the outlines a crisp, engineered feel rather than calligraphic modulation. The design maintains open counters and straightforward curves (notably in C, O, and e), while verticals feel solid and consistent. Lowercase forms are practical and readable, with a double-storey a and a compact, workmanlike rhythm; the overall texture is steady and slightly rigid, emphasizing clarity over ornament.
It performs well in editorial contexts where a firm, grounded serif texture is desirable, from headlines and pull quotes to readable longer passages. The strong slab structure also suits posters, packaging, and labels that benefit from a durable, print-forward presence.
The font conveys a pragmatic, mechanical tone with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of industrial printing and typewriter-era editorial typography. Its blunt slabs and square finishing create an authoritative, no-nonsense voice suited to functional communication.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable readability with an assertive slab-serif voice, pairing consistent stroke logic with square terminal finishing for a practical, industrial-leaning character.
Capitals have a stately, poster-like presence due to the heavy slabs, while the lowercase remains economical and legible in paragraph settings. Numerals appear straightforward and robust, matching the same square-shouldered construction and consistent stem weight.
