A compact slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and squared-off terminals throughout. Strokes are robust and mostly monolinear, giving the letters a dense, mechanical texture. The design is tightly proportioned with narrow set widths and a disciplined vertical rhythm; counters are relatively small and apertures stay controlled, which reinforces the sturdy, no-nonsense color on the line. Numerals and capitals share the same blunt, engineered construction, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure suited to continuous text at larger sizes.
Well suited to display settings where a strong, compact slab voice is needed—posters, headlines, labels, and packaging with a retro-industrial tone. It can also work for short editorial bursts (pull quotes, section openers) where its dense texture and blunt detailing help establish hierarchy.
The overall tone feels industrial and functional, with a clear typewriter and letterpress flavor. Its blunt slabs and compact proportions read as practical and authoritative rather than delicate, leaning toward a vintage, workshop aesthetic.
The font appears designed to deliver a tough, compact slab-serif presence with square-cut terminals and a stable, mechanical rhythm, aiming for high impact and a classic utilitarian mood.
Serifs are consistently thick and rectangular, producing a strong baseline/ capline presence and a slightly stamped impression. The sample text shows a dark, even typographic color with a firm, rhythmic texture that emphasizes structure over finesse.
