A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, squared serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are built from straightforward verticals and horizontals with restrained curves, producing a compact, rectangular silhouette and a steady rhythm in text. Corners and terminals read flat and assertive, while counters are open enough to keep lines from clogging at larger paragraph sizes. Numerals share the same blunt, engineered construction, with clear, simple shapes and consistent alignment to the baseline and cap height.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and short-to-medium blocks of text where a solid, high-contrast presence is desired. It also fits labeling, packaging, and signage that benefit from a robust, no-nonsense typographic voice.
The overall tone is practical and self-assured, with a workmanlike, industrial character. Its squared details and firm serifs give it a retro utility feel—more about clarity and impact than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, impact-forward slab-serif suitable for display and editorial applications. Its squared terminals and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on durability, clarity, and a straightforward, utilitarian aesthetic.
In the text sample, the face maintains a strong color and an even texture, with distinct word shapes driven by its blocky proportions. The bold slab terminals create noticeable horizontal emphasis, especially in capitals and in letters with strong stems and arms.
