A heavy slab-serif design with squared terminals and a compact, sturdy silhouette. Strokes are largely uniform, with broad, blocky serifs and minimal modulation, creating a dense, even texture across lines. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be firm and controlled, while round letters stay more squarish in spirit than calligraphic. The monospaced construction reads clearly in the spacing and produces a strong, regular cadence in running text.
Well-suited to code-like layouts, tables, forms, and technical documentation where alignment and consistent spacing are important. It can also work effectively for posters, labels, packaging, and headings that want a sturdy, vintage-industrial feel. In long passages it will produce a dark, emphatic texture, making it best when a strong typographic presence is desired.
This typeface gives off a practical, workmanlike tone with a hint of vintage utility. Its steady rhythm and sturdy slab details feel authoritative and dependable rather than delicate or expressive. The overall impression is no-nonsense and grounded, suited to communication that wants to look solid and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver strong readability and consistent alignment in settings where fixed character widths matter. Its slab-serif, square-ended construction emphasizes stability and print-like robustness, aiming for a clear, forceful voice that maintains an even typographic color in continuous text.
The numerals are heavy and geometric, matching the letterforms’ squared, slab-based vocabulary. Overall spacing is tight and regular, and the dense weight creates strong line presence even at moderate sizes.
