A condensed, heavy slab-serif design with tall proportions, tight counters, and a largely uniform stroke weight. Serifs are square and blunt, with flat terminals and minimal curvature, giving the outlines a rigid, machined feel. Curves are narrow and vertically stressed (notably in C, O, S), and the joins tend to stay crisp rather than calligraphic. The lowercase maintains compact bowls and short arms, while numerals follow the same tall, narrow structure for a consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and compact display settings where a tall condensed footprint is helpful. It also fits signage and packaging that benefit from an industrial, vintage-leaning slab voice. In longer passages it will look dense and insistent, so it works best when paired with ample leading and generous margins.
The overall tone is sturdy and workmanlike, evoking industrial signage and older print ephemera. Its condensed density reads confident and commanding, with a no-nonsense, utilitarian voice that leans more functional than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining heavy slab presence with a disciplined, squared-off construction. Its forms prioritize clarity and punch over delicacy, aiming for a robust display texture that feels practical and historically grounded.
The narrow set width creates a dark, continuous rhythm in text, especially in all-caps lines. Pointed diagonals (V, W, X, Y) add bite, while the squared serifs keep the silhouette steady and rectilinear. Spacing appears designed to stay compact without the letters collapsing into each other, supporting tight headline setting.
