A wide, low-contrast slab serif with mostly monoline strokes and flat, square-ended serifs. The letterforms use generous horizontal proportions and open counters, with subtly rounded joins that keep the geometry from feeling harsh. Serifs read as sturdy brackets/blocks rather than delicate finishing strokes, and terminals stay blunt and consistent across curves and straights. Overall spacing appears even and deliberate, producing a steady, readable rhythm in both all-caps and mixed text.
It works best for headlines, posters, signage, and brand identities where a wide slab serif can project solidity and character. The open forms and consistent stroke weight also suit short-to-medium passages such as product packaging copy, pull quotes, and editorial subheads when a retro-technical flavor is desired.
The font conveys a retro-industrial confidence with a slightly playful edge. Its broad stance and squared detailing feel practical and engineered, while the softened corners and round bowls keep it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to blend the robustness of slab serifs with a clean, squared-off terminal language and generous width, creating a strong display voice that remains legible and controlled. The softened geometry suggests an aim for approachability while retaining a structured, engineered feel.
In text, the wide proportions make word shapes spread out and airy, helping clarity at display sizes while giving headlines a distinctive, horizontal presence. Numerals follow the same calm, low-contrast construction, aligning visually with the slabs and rounded curves of the alphabet.
