A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off construction and a confident vertical stance. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with modest contrast and clear, blocky serifs that read as slab-like and mostly flat-ended. Counters are compact and the overall fit is tight, producing a dense rhythm; curves are rounded but controlled, often finishing in firm terminals. Numerals and capitals feel especially tall and assertive, while the lowercase keeps a practical, readable structure with a straightforward two-storey ‘a’ and a compact, utilitarian texture.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and display settings where space is tight but impact is needed—such as posters, mastheads, labels, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short bursts of editorial text (decks, pull quotes) where a condensed, authoritative texture is desirable.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with a hint of retro Americana—part newspaper headline, part workwear label. Its condensed heft gives it urgency and impact, while the slab details add a grounded, mechanical steadiness. Overall it feels confident, direct, and built for attention rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, using robust slab serifs and a firm, squared finish to keep letterforms stable and highly legible at display sizes. The consistent heaviness and condensed proportions suggest an emphasis on strong hierarchy, signage-like clarity, and a classic, workmanlike attitude.
The tall proportions and narrow set amplify vertical emphasis, making words look packed and forceful. The slab details remain consistent across the alphabet, helping maintain a uniform, poster-ready color in lines of text, especially at larger sizes.
