A condensed slab serif with monoline strokes, crisp right angles, and unbracketed, rectangular serifs that read as sturdy blocks at the ends of stems. Curves are controlled and squared off where possible, giving bowls and counters a slightly rounded-rectangle feel (notably in C, O, and numerals). The rhythm is vertical and even, with tall ascenders/descenders, compact sidebearings, and clear, open apertures; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with straightforward, mechanical construction. Numerals follow the same squared geometry, with a boxy 0 and simple, upright figures that align cleanly in text.
Works best for short to medium-length display settings where a compact footprint is useful—headlines, posters, packaging copy, labels, and wayfinding/signage. The sturdy slabs and consistent stroke weight help it hold up in high-contrast applications and at moderate sizes where its squared details remain visible.
The overall tone feels practical and engineered—evoking stamped labeling, drafting-room typography, and mid‑century signage. Its condensed stance and blunt slab terminals add an assertive, no-nonsense character that reads as efficient and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving slab serif with a mechanical, workmanlike voice—prioritizing firmness, consistency, and a clear, engineered silhouette over softness or ornament.
In the text sample, the tight width and strong verticals create a dense, column-like texture with clear word shapes and firm punctuation presence. The squared detailing in joins and terminals keeps the texture consistent across mixed case and figures, making it feel orderly rather than calligraphic.
