A compact slab-serif with crisp, squared-off construction and chamfered corners that give many curves an octagonal feel. Strokes are largely even in weight, with robust rectangular serifs and flat terminals that keep the texture firm and mechanical. Counters are tight and geometry-driven, and the rhythm is consistent and compact, producing a dense, economical page color. The lowercase includes simple, straight-backed forms and a single-storey a, with details that stay angular rather than calligraphic.
Well-suited to compact headlines, posters, and packaging where a sturdy, industrial voice is desired. It also fits labeling systems, wayfinding, and interface or dashboard-style typography where crisp structure and tight setting help conserve space while retaining a bold, technical character.
The overall tone is pragmatic and engineered, suggesting signage, labeling, and equipment markings. Its squared contours and sturdy serifs add a slightly vintage, industrial flavor while still reading as clean and controlled.
Likely designed to blend slab-serif solidity with a squared, engineered geometry, prioritizing a compact footprint and a fabricated, technical texture. The chamfered corners and flat terminals appear intended to keep forms crisp and consistent across sizes and applications.
Caps and numerals emphasize straight segments and clipped corners, reinforcing a fabricated, machined impression. In text, the condensed proportions and firm serifs create strong horizontal banding and a disciplined, no-nonsense presence.
