A sturdy slab serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and a largely even stroke presence. The design favors compact, geometric curves with generous interior counters and a clear, consistent rhythm. Serifs are blunt and blocky rather than bracketed, giving horizontals and footings a firm, engineered feel. Uppercase forms are clean and structured, while lowercase maintains straightforward construction with simple joins and minimal stroke modulation; overall spacing reads open and orderly in text.
Well-suited for headlines, short paragraphs, and display-driven editorial layouts where a firm slab-serif presence helps structure the page. It can also work effectively in branding, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from a robust, engineered feel and clear letterforms.
The tone is functional and confident, with an industrial, no-nonsense character that feels slightly retro in the tradition of typewriter and signage-inspired slabs. Its crisp corners and strong base lines lend a pragmatic, technical voice rather than a delicate or calligraphic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, highly legible slab-serif voice with square-ended detailing, balancing readability with a distinctly industrial display character.
In the sample text, the font holds up well at larger text sizes, where its square serifs and compact curves read distinctly. The numerals share the same sturdy, flat-terminal logic, contributing to a consistent, structured texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
