A sturdy slab-serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and a largely monoline stroke feel. Serifs read as bold rectangular slabs, and corners are clean and decisive, giving the outlines a machined, engineered character. Curves are controlled and slightly squared-off, with open counters and straightforward construction that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Overall proportions lean broad, with generous horizontals and a stable baseline presence.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a strong, structured serif presence is desirable. It also fits wayfinding, labels, packaging, and editorial layouts that benefit from an industrial or technical voice.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, suggesting industrial signage and technical labeling. Its firm slabs and squared geometry add a retro, workmanlike flavor while still feeling contemporary and systematic.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of a slab-serif with a squared, engineered finish, prioritizing clarity and robustness for display and functional typographic settings.
The sample text shows even rhythm and clear letter separation, with a distinctive squared treatment on rounded letters and a robust, legible set of lining numerals. The overall texture in paragraphs is steady and slightly chunky, favoring clarity over delicacy.
