A sturdy slab-serif design with square, weighty terminals and a compact, engineered construction. Strokes are heavy with only modest modulation, and the slab serifs read as firm, rectangular blocks that reinforce a mechanical rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are clean and decisive, giving letters a dense, print-forward presence. The overall spacing and cadence feel consistent and grid-like, supporting an even, steady texture in both the alphabet and running text.
Well suited to posters, headlines, and short passages where a strong, mechanical voice is desirable. It can also work effectively on labels, signage, and packaging that benefits from a robust slab-serif presence and consistent, regular rhythm.
The font conveys a practical, workmanlike tone with a distinctly industrial and typewriter-adjacent flavor. Its blunt slabs and dense color feel authoritative and no-nonsense, suggesting utility over ornament. The overall impression is retro-functional—more workshop and forms than boutique editorial.
Likely drawn to deliver a tough, utilitarian slab-serif with a structured, grid-conscious feel, prioritizing solidity and clarity in display and functional typography. The design emphasizes mechanical consistency and strong typographic color for assertive communication.
In text, the bold slabs create strong word shapes and a pronounced baseline, producing a dark, assertive paragraph color. The blocky serifs and tight apertures make it especially impactful at medium to large sizes, where its sturdy detailing reads clearly.
