A sturdy slab-serif with squared-off serifs and mostly even stroke weight, producing a firm, mechanical rhythm. Serifs are prominent and blunt, with flat terminals that emphasize horizontals and give the letterforms a stamped, constructed feel. Counters are open and clearly defined, curves are controlled rather than calligraphic, and the overall proportions read as pragmatic and compact without feeling condensed. Figures are straightforward and legible, matching the same robust, squared detailing seen in the letters.
Well-suited to editorial layouts and reading text where a sturdy serif texture is desired, as well as headlines that benefit from a confident, mechanical presence. It can also perform effectively in signage and packaging when clarity and a bold, utilitarian voice are needed.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, evoking typewritten and industrial printing contexts. Its blunt slabs and steady texture feel dependable and workmanlike, with a subtle retro editorial character rather than a refined literary one.
The design appears intended to deliver high legibility with a distinctive slab-serif stamp: firm terminals, consistent stroke behavior, and a disciplined, mechanical structure that reads cleanly in continuous text while retaining character.
In text, the font builds a strong, even color with clear word shapes, while the heavy slabs add a distinctive horizontal emphasis. The squared detailing stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive and system-like.
