A heavy, monoline slab serif with sturdy, rectangular letterforms and a consistent, even stroke weight. Serifs are thick and blunt with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a stamped, slightly inked look rather than a razor-clean finish. Counters are compact and shapes are generally wide-set, with a tall x-height that keeps lowercase highly legible. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) are rounded but remain solid and weighty, while joins and corners retain a slightly softened, worn edge that reads as printing or impact texture.
This face is well suited to posters, bold editorial headlines, packaging, and label-style graphics where a sturdy, printed voice is desired. It also works for signage and UI-style identifiers where uniform rhythm and high x-height support quick scanning, especially in short lines or all-caps settings.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and workmanlike—confident, no-nonsense, and a bit rough around the edges. It suggests utilitarian tools, forms, labels, and retro office or industrial ephemera rather than polished corporate refinement.
The design appears intended to merge monospaced, typewritten regularity with the authority of slab serifs, producing a durable, practical texture on the page. Its thick serifs and even strokes prioritize clarity and impact while preserving a retro, mechanical character.
The rhythm is steady and mechanical, and the dense color on the page holds up well at display sizes. Numerals are bold and simple with the same slab treatment, aligning visually with the uppercase for strong emphasis in headings or identifiers.
