A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, squared serifs and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes show clear contrast, with heavy stems paired with thinner connecting strokes and crossbars, producing a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and forms are compact, while the overall drawing remains upright and stable. Several joins and inner corners show notch-like cut-ins that read as ink-trap-style detailing, reinforcing a mechanical, engineered feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for display applications where you want dense, authoritative letterforms—headlines, posters, labels, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial pulls or subheads, where its strong serifs and contrast add character without needing decorative effects.
The tone is robust and workmanlike, evoking vintage typing, stamp, and industrial signage aesthetics. It reads confident and practical rather than delicate, with a slightly rugged edge created by the notched terminals and dense color.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, mechanical slab-serif voice with strong readability at larger sizes and a distinctive industrial/typewriter flavor. The notched detailing suggests an effort to keep forms crisp and recognizable in heavy weight while maintaining a compact, efficient texture.
In text, the strong slabs and tight spacing create a dark, even texture with distinctive word shapes. Uppercase letters look especially commanding, while the lowercase keeps a utilitarian presence through simplified bowls and firm serifs; numerals follow the same compact, high-impact construction.
