A slab-serif design with blocky, rectangular serifs and predominantly straight-sided forms. Corners are frequently chamfered, creating an octagonal silhouette in round letters and in numerals, while strokes remain fairly even for a steady, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase is robust and compact with short, squared terminals and minimal curvature, and the overall texture is dense and structured rather than airy.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and packaging where a tough, engineered tone is desired. It can also work for signage, labels, and editorial display settings that benefit from a structured, vintage-industrial flavor. In longer passages it will read best at comfortable sizes where the dense, squared details have room to breathe.
This face reads as sturdy, methodical, and slightly industrial, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its clipped corners and squared construction give it a retro-technical tone that can feel utilitarian, institutional, and quietly authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver clear, durable letterforms with a controlled, engineered feel. Its square serifs, flattened curves, and clipped corners emphasize structure and reproducibility, favoring a bold, practical voice over delicacy or warmth.
The capitals and figures show notably angular rounding, especially in C/G/O/0 and 2/3/8/9, which creates a consistent octagonal motif across the set. The overall spacing and heavy slabs produce a strong horizontal emphasis and a compact, authoritative text color.
