A sturdy slab-serif with squared, slightly chamfered contours and a crisp, engineered silhouette. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical with noticeable, controlled contrast; terminals end in blocky slabs that often show small beak-like or notched shaping. Counters are compact and angular, giving rounds (like O, C, G) an octagonal feel, and several joins suggest subtle ink-trap behavior. The overall texture is dense and even, with strong vertical rhythm and a high, readable lowercase structure.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and a mechanical, vintage-industrial texture are desired. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from firm slabs and angular counters. In longer text, it can work when a dense, authoritative color is acceptable and a utilitarian voice is intended.
The font conveys a utilitarian, industrial confidence—more workshop and machinery than literary refinement. Its angular rounding and emphatic slabs add a vintage, sign-painter/letterpress flavor while still feeling disciplined and technical. The tone is assertive and pragmatic, with a slightly rugged, old-school edge.
Likely designed to blend slab-serif solidity with a constructed, chamfered geometry, producing a face that feels both traditional and machine-made. The intent appears to be high-impact readability with a distinctive, industrial display character that still holds together in running text.
Uppercase forms read like robust display capitals, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike cadence that remains legible in paragraph settings. Numerals are angular and compact, matching the font’s squared geometry and reinforcing the technical, stamped impression.
