A compact slab-serif with rectilinear construction and blunt, square-ended serifs. Strokes stay largely even, producing a firm, low-modulation texture, while counters are open enough to keep forms clear at text sizes. Uppercase proportions are tall and condensed with a steady vertical rhythm; joins and terminals are clean and crisp, giving letters a machined, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same disciplined structure, with simple, legible shapes and consistent stroke endings.
Well suited to headlines and subheads that need a compact, assertive voice, especially in editorial layouts, posters, and signage. Its sturdy slabs and even color also fit packaging and label-style typography where clarity and structure are priorities.
The overall tone is pragmatic and utilitarian, with a subtle retro, typewriter-adjacent flavor. It reads as confident and workmanlike rather than decorative, lending a sense of order, authority, and plainspoken clarity.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, highly legible slab-serif voice with an industrial, engineered character. It emphasizes consistent rhythm, firm terminals, and efficient proportions for impactful setting without excess ornament.
The sample text shows a strong vertical cadence and tight horizontal footprint, making it effective where space is limited. Square terminals and slab presence help hold forms together in dense settings, while the restrained detailing keeps the texture even and controlled.
