A very heavy slab-serif design with compact proportions and a clear rightward slant. Strokes are thick and largely even, with subtle modulation and dense, rectangular slab terminals that often read as bracketed or slightly tapered into the stems. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are conservative, giving the face a dark, solid texture. The forms feel engineered and sturdy, with squared-off details, firm horizontals, and a consistent, rhythmic cadence that holds up well in bold settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a dense, attention-grabbing texture is desirable. It can also work for short bursts of copy in editorial or promotional layouts when a typewriter-leaning, industrial flavor is intended, though the heavy color will dominate in long text.
The overall tone is utilitarian and forceful, evoking typewriter and industrial signage cues. Its weight and slant lend it a punchy, energetic voice, while the slab construction keeps the mood grounded and workmanlike rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, practical slab-serif voice with a typewriter-like slant—prioritizing toughness, readability at a glance, and strong presence in compact, grid-like settings.
The character set shown maintains a consistent, monoline-like sturdiness with minimal ornamentation, prioritizing impact and uniformity. Numerals and capitals appear especially blocky and poster-ready, producing a strong color on the page at both display sizes and in short passages.
