A heavy, blocky slab-serif design with mostly uniform stroke weight and compact interior counters. Corners are softened and slightly irregular, with rounded joins and small notches that read like ink traps, giving the outlines a subtly stamped or cast feel. Serifs are short and squared, producing strong horizontal terminals, while curves in letters like C, G, O, and S stay broad and controlled. The lowercase is sturdy and straightforward, with single-storey a and g and a compact, mechanical rhythm that holds up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where strong shapes and a compact, high-impact texture are desirable. It also works well for logotypes and badges that benefit from an industrial, stamped aesthetic and sturdy slab terminals.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, evoking utilitarian labeling, equipment markings, and mid-century display typography. Its chunky slabs and softened edges add a friendly, tactile quality, balancing toughness with approachability.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum presence with a consistent, durable texture, pairing slab-like terminals with softened corners to feel both mechanical and tactile. The subtle notches and rounded edges suggest an intention to reference printing or fabrication artifacts while maintaining clear, bold readability in display settings.
Spacing appears generous for a display style, and the numerals follow the same robust, squared-off logic, with clear, heavy silhouettes. The texture in text is dense and even, with distinctive terminal shapes that create a recognizable voice in headlines and short passages.
