A wide, sturdy slab-serif with blunt, squared terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The serifs read as heavy horizontal and vertical blocks that meet the stems cleanly, giving the letters a firm, mechanical silhouette. Counters are open and generously proportioned, while rounds (C, O, G, e) appear slightly squared-off, reinforcing the engineered feel. Overall spacing and rhythm are even and texty, with a consistent, no-nonsense texture in paragraph settings.
Works well for headlines, posters, and signage where a bold, stable lettershape is needed without high contrast or calligraphic detail. It also suits packaging, labels, and editorial display text that benefits from an industrial/typewriter flavor and clear, robust forms.
The tone is utilitarian and workmanlike, evoking office machinery, stenciled labeling, and mid-century technical printing. Its broad stance and chunky slabs feel dependable and plainspoken, with a lightly retro, industrial character that stays readable rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, practical slab-serif voice with wide proportions and clean, square joins—prioritizing solidity and clarity while adding a restrained retro-mechanical personality.
Capitals are assertive and wide, with strong horizontals (E, T, Z) and a compact, functional approach to joins and diagonals (K, N, V, W). Figures follow the same blocky logic, with rounded forms kept firm and slightly rectangular in feel, helping the numerals stay consistent with the letterforms.
