A sturdy slab serif with mostly monoline strokes and firm, square-ended serifs that stay crisp and unbracketed. Curves are frequently faceted into straight segments, giving rounded forms (C, G, O, Q, e, o, 0) an octagonal, engineered feel. The design keeps proportions practical and readable, with open counters and compact joins; terminals and crossbars land with a clean, mechanical decisiveness. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and workmanlike, supporting both caps and text settings without delicate detail.
Well suited to editorial text where a robust slab serif texture is desired, as well as technical documentation, instructions, and product copy that benefits from a straightforward, mechanical voice. The strong serifs and faceted curves also lend themselves to packaging, signage, labels, and logotype-style headings where an industrial or typewriter-adjacent feel is appropriate.
The font communicates a utilitarian, machine-made character—evoking typewriter and workshop labeling aesthetics with a slightly retro, industrial edge. Its angular rounding and square serifs add a technical, no-nonsense tone that feels purposeful rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to blend the dependability of a traditional slab serif with a more machined, cut-corner geometry, producing a practical text face with a distinctive technical flavor. Its consistent stroke weight and squared terminals prioritize clarity and reproducibility across a wide range of sizes.
Several glyphs emphasize the faceted construction: the C and G read as cut-corner rounds, and the Q uses a clear tail element that reinforces the engineered geometry. Numerals share the same squared-off logic, with the 0 matching the faceted oval motif for consistency.
