A sturdy slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a consistently heavy, low-contrast stroke. The letterforms are broad and horizontally expansive, with generous interior space and a clear, even rhythm across lines. Terminals resolve into crisp, squared-off ends, and curves are slightly squarish, giving round letters a machined, geometric feel. Lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, keeping word shapes compact and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its wide, slabbed silhouette can carry at a glance. It also works well for packaging and editorial display typography that benefits from a technical, industrial voice, and for short blocks of text where a strong, steady texture is desired.
The overall tone feels industrial and engineered, with a retro, sign-painter practicality rather than elegance. Its wide stance and firm slabs convey confidence and a no-nonsense, workmanlike character.
Likely designed to deliver a robust, highly readable slab serif with a distinctly wide footprint and a precise, machined finish. The emphasis appears to be on confident display impact and straightforward clarity rather than delicate detail.
The wide set and emphatic slabs create strong horizontal emphasis, which can make paragraphs feel bold and declarative. Numerals follow the same squared, sturdy construction, matching the letters well for listings and headings.
