A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and mostly even stroke weight, punctuated by crisp, squared terminals. The letterforms are tall and compact with a strong vertical emphasis, tight inner counters, and a pronounced, high x-height that keeps lowercase prominent in text. Curves are controlled and slightly boxy, giving bowls and shoulders a firm, engineered feel, while joins and feet stay blunt and stable for a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a condensed, sturdy slab can maximize information density without losing impact. It also fits branding applications like packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a bold, industrial-leaning structure and clear, high-contrast silhouettes.
The overall tone reads practical and no-nonsense, with a classic, print-inspired solidity. Its compact width and emphatic slabs add a confident, slightly vintage flavor that feels at home in editorial and display settings where clarity and authority matter.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly legible slab-serif voice with a strong vertical stance and square-cut finishing. It prioritizes presence and efficiency—packing characters tightly while keeping forms clear and stable for attention-grabbing typographic hierarchy.
Capitals present a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains punch through its tall x-height and compact spacing. Numerals share the same condensed build and blocky finishing, supporting cohesive typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
