A compact slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and mostly square-cut terminals. Strokes are robust and fairly uniform in weight, with tight counters and a condensed overall width that builds a strong vertical rhythm. The letterforms favor squared geometry and blunt joins, with minimal curvature and a deliberate, mechanical consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used where strong impact and space efficiency matter: headlines, posters, bold editorial callouts, labels, and short-form branding. It also suits wayfinding or industrial-themed signage, and can work for compact wordmarks where a sturdy, slab-serif silhouette is desired.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone—confident and workmanlike, with a hint of vintage printing and signage. Its dense shapes and emphatic slabs give it an assertive voice suited to messages that need to feel solid and authoritative rather than delicate or lyrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using sturdy slabs and squared terminals to maintain clarity and authority. Its systematic, block-forward construction suggests a focus on practical display use and consistent typographic color across lines.
In text, the narrow proportions and tight apertures create a dark, compact texture; this can feel punchy and economical, especially in headlines. The numerals share the same blocky, squared construction, reinforcing the uniform, engineered personality across mixed alphanumeric settings.
