A sturdy slab serif with squared-off terminals and a predominantly rectilinear construction. Strokes stay fairly even, with blunt corners and tight curves that read as rounded rectangles rather than smooth bowls. Uppercase forms are compact and firm, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm with short, heavy serifs and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same squared geometry, giving a consistent, engineered feel across letters and figures.
It suits applications that benefit from a robust, high-impact texture—such as signage, packaging, wayfinding, product labeling, and poster headlines. In editorial layouts it can add a utilitarian voice to pull quotes, subheads, and short text blocks where a firm slab-serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling, mechanical processes, and mid-century utilitarian print. Its blocky presence and squared details lend it a confident, hard-wearing character that feels more functional than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice built from squared geometry—prioritizing solidity, clarity, and a mechanically consistent look for bold communication in print and branding contexts.
The face maintains a disciplined cadence with strong verticals and clearly defined slab feet, producing a dense, authoritative texture in text. Corners and joins tend to resolve into flat edges and squared counters, which reinforces a technical, constructed impression at both display and paragraph sizes.
