A sturdy slab-serif design with even, monoline-like stroke weight and wide, blocky proportions. Stems and serifs end in flat, square terminals, while bowls and rounded forms are built from chamfered, octagonal curves rather than true circles. The overall rhythm is highly regular and monospaced in feel, with compact spacing inside each glyph and consistent verticals that read cleanly at display sizes. Details like the angled joins, cut-in notches, and hard corners give the alphabet a mechanical, stamped character.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and branding that needs a tough, industrial voice, as well as signage, labels, and packaging where uniform character widths and strong terminals help maintain a consistent texture. It also works for short technical readouts or tabular settings where fixed-width alignment is desirable.
The font conveys an industrial, utilitarian tone—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro. Its squared construction and slab presence suggest machinery, labeling, and workmanlike printing, with a hint of typewriter or poster workshop grit rather than refined editorial polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with a deliberately squared, engineered geometry, prioritizing uniformity and impact over delicate modulation. Its chamfered curves and flat terminals aim to evoke practical printing and industrial marking traditions while remaining highly structured and repeatable.
The uppercase set reads particularly architectural, with strong horizontal slabs and angular apertures, while the lowercase maintains the same squared construction and sturdy footings. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry, keeping the texture consistent in sequences and tables.
