A squared slab-serif with a tall, condensed-feeling silhouette and a strict vertical stress. Strokes are mostly monolinear with slight contrast, and terminals resolve into flat, rectangular slabs that give the outlines a boxy, engineered rhythm. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, corners read as crisp rather than soft, and curves (like O/C/S) are tightened into rounded-rectangle forms. Spacing appears even but compact, producing a tight, efficient texture in running text.
Works well for headlines and short blocks of copy where a firm, industrial slab-serif presence is desired—such as posters, product packaging, labels, and signage. It can also support editorial applications when a condensed, technical texture is an intentional part of the layout.
The design conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone—mechanical and utilitarian with a subtle retro, typewriter-adjacent flavor. Its squared construction feels technical and authoritative, lending a controlled, structured voice rather than a literary or calligraphic one.
Likely drawn to deliver a sturdy slab-serif voice with squared geometry and compact proportions, prioritizing visual firmness and a mechanical rhythm. The consistent rectangular terminals and tightened curves suggest an intention to feel engineered and distinctive in display and branding contexts.
Distinctive squarish bowls and apertures create a strong pattern at display sizes, while the compact internal spaces suggest it will look densest in longer lines. The numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, reinforcing a consistent, engineered system across letters and figures.
