A compact slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended terminals and blocky serifs that read as bracketless and deliberately mechanical. Strokes are mostly even, with minimal modulation and slightly tightened counters that create a dense, punchy texture in text. Many joins and inside corners show subtle notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins, reinforcing a stamped or letterpressed impression. Curves (C, O, S) stay controlled and somewhat squared-off, while diagonals (V, W, X) remain firm and narrow, keeping the overall rhythm tight and consistent.
Best suited for display sizes where its dense color and slab details can add character—posters, headlines, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work for short blocks of text when a rugged, print-like texture is desired, especially in branding or signage contexts that benefit from an industrial or vintage voice.
The face conveys a pragmatic, no-nonsense tone with a retro print-shop and typewriter-adjacent personality. Its chunky slabs and compact proportions feel industrial and dependable, with a hint of handmade imperfection that suggests ink on paper rather than slick digital precision.
Likely designed to evoke the look of traditional printing and utilitarian lettering, combining compact proportions with strong slabs for confident presence. The squared terminals and small ink-trap-like notches appear intended to preserve clarity and personality in heavier, inked reproduction contexts.
Capitals are assertive and slightly top-heavy in silhouette, while lowercase maintains a clear, workmanlike structure with strong serifs and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same sturdy logic, with simplified, upright forms that favor impact over delicacy.
