A heavy, squared slab-serif with blunt, flat terminals and tightly controlled curves that read as rounded rectangles. Strokes are consistently thick with small, rectangular counters and apertures, giving the alphabet a compact, engineered feel. Serifs appear as short, blocky brackets or slabs on key stems and arms, while bowls and rounds (O, C, G, 0) are squarish with softened corners. The lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy presence with simple, architectural forms and minimal calligraphic influence; numerals match the same squared geometry for a unified texture.
Best suited to display work where high visual presence is desirable—posters, headlines, badges, labels, and short punchy statements. It can work for signage or product/packaging graphics when set with ample size and spacing to preserve legibility.
The tone is rugged and functional, evoking factory labeling, scoreboard graphics, and classic display typography. Its squared construction and confident weight convey solidity and directness, with a distinctly retro-technical flavor rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, square-built slab-serif voice that feels industrial and dependable, emphasizing punchy shapes and a uniform, engineered texture for attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the dense color and small internal spaces increase impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where counters are narrow. The overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with a consistent set of squared curves that keeps words looking uniform and emphatic.
