A heavy, monoline slab-serif design with square-ended terminals and pronounced, block-like serifs. The forms are wide and evenly weighted, with minimal contrast and a firm, mechanical rhythm. Counters tend toward squarish ovals, corners are assertive, and curves are tightly controlled, giving the alphabet a dense, stamped look. Spacing is fixed and consistent across characters, reinforcing a measured, grid-like texture in text.
Works well where strict alignment and a robust voice are useful, such as code samples, tabular UI labels, forms, and technical documentation. At display sizes it can deliver a bold, industrial headline for posters, packaging, or branding that benefits from a rugged, typewriter-adjacent texture.
The overall tone is utilitarian and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling, typewritten forms, and no-nonsense signage. Its blunt slabs and steady cadence read as confident and durable, with a distinctly retro technical flavor.
Likely intended to deliver a sturdy, highly regular slab-serif voice optimized for consistent alignment and clear, repetitive rhythm. The design emphasizes mechanical uniformity and flat-ended detailing to produce a durable, utilitarian impression in both short labels and set text.
Round letters (like O/C/G) retain a slightly squared silhouette, while joins and terminals stay crisp and flat rather than tapered. Numerals are bold and prominent, matching the same rigid, engineered construction and maintaining strong uniformity alongside the letters.
