A sturdy slab-serif design with compact, squared-off forms and consistently heavy terminals. Strokes stay largely even, with rounded corners and blunt serifs that read as rectangular feet and caps rather than sharp brackets. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense and steady, producing a strong horizontal rhythm in text. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike construction (notably single-storey a and g) and the figures match the same blocky, evenly weighted presence.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy where a rugged slab-serif voice is desired. It also fits labeling, packaging, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a dense, sturdy texture and a distinctly mechanical presence.
The tone is pragmatic and mechanical, evoking typewriter and industrial labeling aesthetics. Its heavy, uniform presence feels straightforward and no-nonsense, with a mild vintage flavor that suggests office forms, equipment tags, and utilitarian print.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif with a utilitarian, typewriter-adjacent character—prioritizing solidity, consistent rhythm, and clear, blocky silhouettes for display and practical text settings.
The sample text shows a stable, even texture with little modulation, and the squared serifs help maintain clear word shapes at larger sizes. Rounded joins and softened corners keep the otherwise rigid geometry from feeling overly harsh.
