A sturdy slab-serif design with squared, unbracketed serifs and largely monoline construction. Strokes end in flat terminals, corners are crisply cut, and curves are gently squared off, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feeling. Proportions are practical and compact, with clear vertical stress and consistent stem weight; the lowercase shows simple, workmanlike forms (notably single-storey a and g) and a dot on i/j rendered as a small square. Numerals follow the same squared, engineered logic, with open shapes and stable, sign-like silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and subheads where a robust slab texture is desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from an industrial, workmanlike voice, and can serve in UI or documentation contexts when a sturdy, high-clarity serif is preferred.
The overall tone is utilitarian and no-nonsense, evoking typewriter and industrial printing aesthetics. Its squared detailing and firm serifs communicate reliability and a slightly retro, workshop/office character rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with typewriter-adjacent practicality: firm, squared serifs; simplified, highly legible forms; and a consistent mechanical rhythm that holds up in continuous text and bold display settings.
The rhythm in text is even and deliberate, with prominent slabs that help anchor lines at larger sizes while keeping letterforms highly recognizable. The squarish curve treatment and flat terminals create a consistent, mechanical texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
