A compact, dark slab-serif design built from straight strokes and crisp right angles. The serifs are blocky and square, with minimal bracketing, and the overall construction leans rectangular with little curvature. Counters tend to be boxy, apertures are tight, and the spacing feels economical, producing a firm, high-contrast texture on the line without relying on stroke modulation.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, labels, and packaging that benefit from a compact, assertive slab-serif presence. It can work effectively for logotypes, badges, editorial display, and UI/overlay titling where a squared, technical aesthetic is appropriate. The dense rhythm makes it particularly effective at medium-to-large sizes, especially in all caps or short bursts of copy.
This typeface conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone with a slightly industrial and utilitarian edge. Its squared detailing and dense rhythm give it a retro technical feel—more functional than friendly, with a hint of arcade or display signage energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while staying highly structured and consistent. Its square serif treatment and rigid geometry suggest a goal of producing a sturdy, legible voice for short text and display settings where a strong, engineered look is desirable.
The letterforms maintain a strict rectangular logic across caps and lowercase, with square terminals and a consistent, built-up feel. Numerals match the same boxy construction, supporting a cohesive, system-like appearance across alphanumerics.
