A sturdy slab-serif with square, unbracketed terminals and largely monoline stroke construction. The letterforms are spacious and extended, with broad counters and rounded-rectangle curves that keep bowls and arches feeling open and mechanical. Serifs read as firm horizontal blocks on stems and arms, contributing to a steady, engineered rhythm, while joins remain crisp and straightforward. The overall texture is bold in presence without relying on strong contrast, producing an even, legible color in text and headlines.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where a strong, technical voice is desired. It works well for signage, packaging, and brand systems that benefit from a robust slab-serif presence and clear, open letterforms, especially at display sizes.
The font projects a pragmatic, industrial tone with a subtle retro-machine character. Its blunt terminals and squared geometry feel functional and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and mid-century technical typography rather than formal editorial elegance.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of slab serifs with an engineered, wide-set silhouette for high-impact communication. Its squared terminals and low-contrast build prioritize clarity and a durable, industrial personality across display and functional typography contexts.
In running text the wide proportions and slab terminals create a distinctive horizontal sweep, and the rounded-square shaping keeps forms clear at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same utilitarian logic, maintaining the font’s blocky, engineered feel.
