A condensed, monoline slab-serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a clearly mechanical construction. Strokes stay even in thickness, with rounded outer corners in many curves and ends that keep the texture friendly rather than harsh. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular-oval, and spacing is fairly tight, producing a steady, column-like rhythm in text. The lowercase uses simple, single‑storey forms (notably a and g), while figures are straightforward and aligned, reinforcing the practical, no-nonsense feel.
Well-suited for compact headlines, captions, labeling, and layouts where horizontal space is at a premium. The even stroke weight and square serifs also make it a strong option for packaging, editorial sidebars, technical documentation, and UI-style labels where a typed, structured voice is desirable.
The overall tone reads like classic typed or stamped lettering—orderly, functional, and slightly retro. Its condensed stance and crisp slabs evoke utilitarian signage, paperwork, and industrial labeling rather than expressive calligraphy. The result feels disciplined and dependable, with a subtle vintage office or workshop character.
The design appears intended to deliver a typewriter-adjacent, utilitarian slab-serif voice with efficient width and consistent stroke economy. Its simplified forms and crisp terminals prioritize clarity and regular rhythm, aiming for a practical text-and-display hybrid that stays distinctive in dense settings.
Vertical strokes dominate the silhouette, giving lines of text a strong, upright cadence. Round glyphs keep a slightly squared-off profile, and terminals tend to resolve with small slab-like feet or caps that maintain consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
