A compact slab-serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and a generally monoline stroke feel. The forms mix straight, rectilinear strokes with broad rounded bowls, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Serifs are short and blocky, and many joins resolve into squared shoulders or bracket-like curves that read as machined rather than calligraphic. Counters are open and clean, with sturdy stems and a slightly condensed overall rhythm that stays legible in text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and display text where its squared slabs and engineered curves can read clearly. It can also work for short to medium editorial passages, especially in layouts aiming for a retro or technical voice. The sturdy terminals make it a good candidate for labeling, posters, packaging, and signage-style applications.
The font conveys a utilitarian, retro-industrial tone—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly mechanical. Its squared finishing and sturdy proportions suggest practicality and reliability, while the rounded bowls keep it from feeling overly harsh or purely geometric.
The design appears intended to blend the authority of a slab serif with a squared, industrial finishing, creating a pragmatic display face that remains readable in text. Its consistent stroke behavior and crisp terminals suggest an emphasis on clarity, robustness, and a distinctive mechanical personality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, constructed logic, with distinctive slabbed feet and flat terminals that maintain a firm baseline presence. Numerals follow the same square-ended treatment and feel well matched to the letters, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
