A sturdy slab serif with blocky, squared forms and clipped corners that give many curves an octagonal profile. Strokes stay largely monoline with minimal contrast, and the serifs are bold, flat, and unbracketed, reinforcing a machined, no-nonsense texture. Capitals are tall and compact with strong horizontals, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward rhythm with firm vertical stems and squarish bowls; counters tend to be angular rather than round. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic (notably in 0, 2, 3, 8, 9), producing a consistent, engineered look in both glyph grid and text setting.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, and product packaging where a robust, crafted presence is desirable. It also fits signage, labels, and industrial or heritage-inspired branding systems that benefit from strong silhouettes and consistent, cut-corner geometry.
The overall tone feels industrial and dependable, with a collegiate/workwear flavor driven by the heavy slabs and chamfered geometry. Its crisp, cut-corner shapes read as practical and authoritative, suggesting signage, labeling, and “built-to-last” branding rather than delicate editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to blend a traditional slab-serif structure with a geometric, chamfered treatment, creating a practical, sturdy face that feels manufactured and time-tested. Its consistent low-contrast strokes and emphatic slab terminals prioritize clarity and impact over elegance.
The font’s angular rounding creates clear, repeating motifs across rounds (C/G/O/Q/0/8), which helps cohesion at display sizes. At smaller sizes the dense slabs and squared detailing can add texture and visual weight, so it tends to look best with comfortable spacing and in short-to-medium text runs.
