A sturdy slab-serif with squared, bracketed terminals and a compact, slightly condensed stance in the capitals. Strokes are mostly monolinear with noticeable but controlled contrast, and the joins and inside corners show small cut-ins that read like ink traps or chamfered counters. Curves are squared-off into rounded rectangles (notably in O/0 and D), while serifs and horizontal bars stay firm and blocky, giving an engineered, stamped look. The lowercase keeps a pragmatic rhythm with straight-sided bowls, tall ascenders, and simple, workmanlike forms; figures follow the same rectilinear logic with strong verticals and squared turns.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where sturdy slabs and squared geometry can carry the message. It can also work for short editorial deck copy or pull quotes when a dense, industrial flavor is desired, and for logo wordmarks that benefit from a mechanical, constructed voice.
The overall tone is industrial and vintage, evoking printed labels, equipment markings, and mid-century editorial display. It feels confident and no-nonsense, with a faint typewriter/letterpress grit suggested by the crisp slabs and corner cut-ins. The rhythm is steady and emphatic, making the text feel authoritative and practical rather than delicate or playful.
The letterforms appear designed to blend classic slab-serif authority with a more engineered, rectilinear construction and corner cut-ins for added bite. The goal reads as a versatile display face that remains legible and structured while projecting a rugged, utilitarian personality.
The design’s tight apertures and squared counters create a dark, compact texture in paragraph-sized settings, while the distinctive slabs and corner detailing provide strong character in larger sizes. Numerals are bold and signage-friendly, with clearly structured shapes that match the uppercase’s geometric logic.
