A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, square-ended serifs and a mostly monoline construction. Strokes are substantial and even, with gently rounded corners that soften the otherwise squared geometry. Counters are open and generous, and several joins show subtle cut-ins or ink-trap-like notches that improve separation at heavier points. The uppercase feels wide and steady, while the lowercase maintains clear, simple forms with a compact, workmanlike rhythm.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and branding that benefits from a strong, blocky voice. The sturdy letterforms also work for packaging, labels, and signage where clear recognition at a glance matters. In editorial layouts it can serve as a punchy display companion, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is tough and practical, with a hint of vintage printing and industrial signage. Its heavy, squared serifs and solid silhouettes communicate confidence and durability rather than delicacy, making it feel grounded and no-nonsense. The slight rounding and small interior cut-ins add a friendly, engineered character.
Likely designed to deliver a robust slab-serif presence with high legibility and a distinctly squared, engineered look. The consistent stroke weight and squared terminals suggest an intent to reference utilitarian printing and signage, while the rounded corners and subtle cut-ins help maintain clarity and texture in heavier text.
Numerals are bold and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ squared terminals and broad proportions. In the text sample, the face holds together well in dense settings, with a consistent dark color and clear word shapes, especially in mixed-case passages. The distinctive slab feet and crisp horizontals give lines a stable baseline and strong horizontal emphasis.
