A sturdy slab serif with squared, block-like terminals and a largely monolinear feel moderated by noticeable internal contrast. The letters are built from straight, orthogonal strokes with rounded joins in bowls and corners, producing a firm, engineered rhythm. Serifs are heavy and rectangular, with subtle bracketing that keeps shapes from feeling overly rigid. Counters are generous and open, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are rounded but disciplined, maintaining a consistent, grid-friendly texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to typewriter-inspired layouts, bold UI or product labeling, and short-to-medium blocks of copy where a strong texture is desirable. It also performs well in headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from an industrial or archival tone, especially when consistent character spacing is part of the design.
The overall tone reads utilitarian and workmanlike, with a clear typewriter and industrial signage flavor. Its dense, punchy color and emphatic slabs give it a no-nonsense voice that can feel both retro and authoritative, suitable for documents, labels, and bold editorial accents.
The design appears aimed at delivering a practical, high-impact slab serif that evokes typewritten and industrial printing while staying clean and consistent in repeated patterns of text. Its restrained ornamentation and sturdy serifs prioritize clarity and presence over delicacy.
Figures are robust and highly legible, with strong vertical emphasis and simplified details that keep silhouettes crisp at display sizes. The lowercase shows classic slab-serif construction with single-storey forms where expected and sturdy ascenders/descenders that reinforce the mechanical, composed feel.
