A square-shouldered slab serif with robust, rectangular serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing softly squared bowls and arches with flat, crisp terminals. The proportions run on the wide side, with open counters and a steady rhythm that keeps letters clear at display sizes; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and sturdy verticals. Numerals follow the same modular logic, with simplified, geometric forms and firm baseline/overshoot behavior.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where the strong slabs and squared geometry can carry visual weight. It also works well for signage, labels, and editorial callouts that benefit from a technical, structured voice and clear letterforms.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and engineered—suggesting labeling, instrumentation, and mid-century industrial print. Its squared curves and strong slabs add a retro, typewriter-adjacent flavor without becoming overly distressed or decorative, projecting reliability and clarity.
Likely intended to blend the authority of slab serifs with a modular, squared construction, creating a sturdy display face that reads as both retro and technical. The consistent geometry and firm terminals suggest a focus on clarity and impact in short to medium text settings.
The design leans on consistent right angles and rounded corners, giving it a constructed, almost sign-painted regularity. Horizontal strokes and serifs read as deliberate platforms, which can emphasize word shapes in headlines and short settings.
