A quirky slab serif with chunky, squared terminals and pronounced bracketless feet that read as bold, blocky slabs. Strokes show strong internal cut-ins and notches—especially at joins and mid-stems—creating an ink-trap/stencil-like texture and a slightly fragmented silhouette. Curves are rounded but interrupted by sharp interior bites, and counters often appear pinched or bridged, giving letters a mechanically constructed feel. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, while overall proportions stay sturdy and upright with a compact, workmanlike rhythm.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, punchy headlines, labels, and brand marks where its notched slab character can do the heavy lifting. It can also work for short bursts of copy in packaging or signage, especially where a retro-industrial or typewriter-adjacent mood is desirable.
The tone feels industrial and slightly mischievous, like a vintage printing or labeling face pushed into eccentric territory. Its notched details and heavy slabs add a rugged, engineered personality that suggests machines, stamps, and utilitarian signage, but with an intentionally oddball twist.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a sturdy slab serif through deliberate cut-ins and bridged forms, adding visual bite and a manufactured, stamped quality. The goal seems to be a memorable, character-forward display face that stays structurally bold while embracing unconventional construction details.
In text, the repeated interior cutouts create a strong horizontal chatter and dark texture, making the face most comfortable at larger sizes where the distinctive notches and slab terminals remain clear. Numerals and lowercase retain the same constructed logic, helping the set feel consistent despite the deliberately unconventional shaping.
