A heavy, wide, monospaced slab serif with blunt terminals and confident, squared-off serifs. Strokes show clear, practical contrast, with sturdier verticals and slightly lighter joins and curves, creating a strong printed rhythm. Counters are generous for the weight, and many curves are subtly flattened or squared, giving round letters a mechanical, built-from-parts feel. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike structure with single-storey forms and compact, blocky details, while figures are broad and robust with prominent horizontal/angled terminals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a bold, industrial voice is desired and monospaced alignment can be a design feature. It can also work for short editorial callouts, captions, and display-heavy layouts that benefit from a sturdy, typewriter-like texture rather than delicate detail.
The tone is utilitarian and industrial, reminiscent of typewriter and stamped-letter aesthetics—authoritative, durable, and a bit gritty. Its wide stance and firm slabs project a straightforward, no-nonsense voice suited to bold messaging and functional labeling.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, mechanically consistent slab-serif voice in a fixed-width structure, balancing rugged character with readable counters. The wide proportions and blunt slabs suggest an emphasis on impact, alignment, and a utilitarian, print-forward aesthetic.
The texture in paragraph settings reads dense but even thanks to consistent character widths and strong vertical emphasis. The slab serifs and flattened curves create a distinctive, mechanical cadence that stays legible at larger sizes and gives headings a punchy presence.
