A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, squared terminals and largely even stroke weight. Serifs read as blocky brackets or flat slabs, giving strong footings and a steady vertical rhythm. Curves are compact and slightly boxy, with tight counters in letters like B, P, R, and e. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably a single-storey a and g), and numerals are compact with consistent, blunt endings that match the serif treatment.
Well-suited to headlines and compact display settings where a dense, sturdy voice is helpful—posters, labels, packaging, and editorial callouts. It can also work for short paragraphs or captions when a vintage, type-driven texture is desired and line length is controlled.
The overall tone feels typewriter-adjacent and archival, combining a no-nonsense industrial sturdiness with a hint of retro print texture. It reads confident and practical rather than delicate, with a blunt, mechanical cadence that suggests stamped or inked lettering.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, hard-working slab-serif look with a typewriter-era sensibility—prioritizing strong silhouettes, compact fit, and consistent, robust terminals for impactful, space-efficient typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight, reinforcing a dense, economical texture in text. The strong slab endings help maintain clarity at display sizes and in short lines, while the condensed proportions create an assertive, column-like presence.
