A heavy, even-stroked slab serif with a strongly rectangular skeleton and softened, rounded corners. The letters sit on consistent widths with deliberate, chunky slabs and compact interior counters, producing a dense, blocky texture. Curves are restrained and slightly squarish, while joins and terminals feel mechanically simplified, giving the forms a stamped, workmanlike rhythm. Numerals and punctuation match the same robust, monoline construction for a uniform, steady color in text.
It works well where a firm, structured rhythm is desirable, such as code-style specimens, UI readouts, labels, and short bursts of text. The bold presence also suits posters, packaging, and editorial headlines that benefit from a rugged, retro-industrial character.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense with a nostalgic, typewriter-adjacent flavor. Its sturdy slabs and compact shapes evoke utilitarian printing, paperwork, and vintage technical labeling rather than refined literary elegance. The rounded edges add a friendlier, slightly playful warmth to an otherwise industrial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, legible slab-serif voice with a fixed-width cadence and a softened, stamped finish. It prioritizes consistency and impact over delicacy, aiming for clear recognition and a distinctive, workhorse personality in display and utility settings.
The tight apertures and smaller counters create a dark typographic color at text sizes, making spacing and line height important for comfortable reading. The consistent, fixed-width rhythm is especially apparent in the sample paragraph, where alignment and cadence feel deliberate and structured.
