A sturdy slab-serif with largely uniform stroke weight and a distinctly angular construction. Curves are frequently faceted into chamfered corners, giving bowls and counters an octagonal feel, while terminals resolve into flat, squared slabs. The design maintains a consistent rhythm with straightforward, workmanlike proportions, and the numerals echo the same clipped geometry for a cohesive, engineered texture in text.
This face suits headlines and short blocks where its chamfered geometry can be appreciated, such as posters, product packaging, and labels. It also works well for signage and interface or dashboard-style graphics where a sturdy, technical look is desired, while remaining readable in moderate-length text settings.
The overall tone feels industrial and mechanical—more workshop label than literary page. Its sharp chamfers and squared serifs suggest precision and durability, projecting a retro technical personality that reads as direct and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to combine the authority and stability of slab serifs with an engineered, square-edged construction. Its consistent stroke weight and clipped corners prioritize clarity and a fabricated aesthetic, aiming for a practical voice with distinctive geometric character.
In running text, the faceted joins and squared details create a slightly “stamped” or fabricated impression, especially noticeable in round letters like C, O, and G. The lowercase remains simple and pragmatic, keeping the texture even while the angular shaping adds character at display sizes.
