A sturdy slab-serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and mostly uniform stroke weight. Corners are crisp and rectilinear, with rounded inner curves where needed, creating a clear, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms feel compact and structured, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, almost mechanical construction; apertures are moderately open and counters are generous enough to hold up at text sizes. Numerals follow the same squared logic, with simple, stable shapes and consistent footing.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short text where a firm, structured voice is desired. It can also work for editorial pull quotes, packaging, and labeling systems that benefit from clear, slabbed letterforms and a robust texture.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor. Its blocky slabs and squared detailing suggest reliability and a technical, signage-like attitude rather than elegance or softness.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, legible slab-serif voice with a squared, contemporary-industrial finish. The consistent stroke behavior and flat terminals aim for clarity and impact across display sizes while maintaining usable readability in set text.
The design emphasizes strong horizontals and verticals, giving lines of text a steady, anchored baseline and a slightly modular texture. The mix of squared terminals with rounded bowls keeps the face from feeling overly rigid while preserving its bold, constructed character.
