A sturdy slab-serif with largely monolinear strokes and flat, square-ended terminals. Many curves are subtly chamfered into octagonal forms, giving rounds like O, C, and G a faceted silhouette. Serifs are bold and blocky with minimal bracketing, and the overall drawing favors straight stems, crisp corners, and compact joins. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable construction with a two-storey g, a sturdy single-storey a, and short, square-topped ascenders; numerals and caps share the same faceted, sign-paint-like geometry.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short-to-medium text where its blocky slabs and chamfered rounds can carry personality—such as posters, labels, packaging, and identity marks. It can also work for signage-style UI or display copy that benefits from a rugged, industrial-leaning voice.
The tone feels practical and dependable, with a distinct old-school, collegiate/workwear flavor. Its faceted curves and squared slabs evoke stamped lettering, vintage equipment markings, and mid-century print ephemera rather than delicate editorial typography.
Likely designed to combine the authority of a slab serif with a squared, machined geometry, balancing legibility with a distinctive faceted character for strong display use.
The faceting is consistent across letters and numerals, creating a distinctive rhythm in text blocks where bowls and terminals repeatedly resolve into angled cuts. Capitals read especially strong for headings, while the lowercase maintains clarity through simple forms and steady spacing.
