A compact slab-serif with heavy, mostly uniform strokes and crisp, chamfered corners that create an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Serifs are blocky and unbracketed, with frequent spur-like terminals and occasional inward notches that give an ink-trap-like bite at joins. Counters tend to be tight and angular, and the overall rhythm feels rigid and engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, machined construction, producing a consistent, sign-like texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where its strong slabs and angular detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, labels, and packaging. It also works well for branding marks or short bursts of text that need a rugged, vintage-industrial voice, and can be effective on wayfinding or storefront-style signage.
The tone is tough and utilitarian, with a clear vintage signage and woodtype influence. Its sharp facets and stout slabs evoke tools, stenciled equipment markings, and frontier-era display lettering, reading as assertive and no-nonsense.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, engineered slab-serif look with a distinctly faceted, vintage flavor. The consistent stroke weight and repeated chamfered geometry suggest an emphasis on durability and high-impact presence in display typography.
The design relies on repeated geometric motifs—flat tops, clipped diagonals, and squared bowls—which helps it hold together in dense settings. The pointed construction on letters like V/W and the angular shaping of curved forms (C/G/O/Q) heighten the mechanical feel and make the font especially characterful at larger sizes.
