A compact slab serif with sturdy, mostly even stroke weight and crisp, square-cut terminals. Serifs are rectangular and unbracketed, giving the forms a mechanical, built-from-parts feel. Counters tend to be rounded-rectangular, and curves transition into straight segments with firm corners, producing a consistent, slightly condensed rhythm. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike construction (single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same squared, functional logic.
Works well for headlines, labels, and short-to-medium text where a compact, robust slab presence is desired. It suits editorial pull quotes, posters, packaging, and utilitarian branding systems that benefit from a firm, mechanical texture and clear letterforms.
The overall tone is utilitarian and industrial, evoking typewriter and workshop signage sensibilities. Its tight proportions and blunt details read as practical and no-nonsense, with a mild retro flavor rather than a delicate or literary voice.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable, condensed slab serif voice with strong structure and clear terminals, balancing a typewriter-inspired personality with straightforward readability for display and practical text settings.
In text, the font maintains a steady vertical cadence with clear stems and emphatic slab endings that help letters hold their shape at display sizes. The punctuation and figures visually match the squared terminals, reinforcing a cohesive, tool-like texture across mixed content.
