A condensed slab-serif design with sturdy, rectangular serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The forms are tall and narrow with tight internal counters, giving the letters a compressed, vertical rhythm. Terminals are blunt and squared, with occasional rounded corners that soften the otherwise rigid geometry. Curves in letters like C, G, and S stay taut and narrow, while numerals follow the same compact, upright construction for consistent color in text.
Well-suited to headlines and short display lines where space is tight and impact is needed. It works effectively for posters, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from condensed, high-density letterforms and a sturdy slab-serif presence. It can also serve as an accent face in editorial layouts for pull quotes or section headers.
The font conveys an industrial, workmanlike tone with a retro print-shop and typewriter-adjacent feel. Its dense, vertical cadence reads as practical and emphatic rather than delicate, suggesting labels, signage, and editorial display with a slightly old-fashioned edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, forceful slab-serif voice that prioritizes vertical economy and strong typographic color. Its squared serifs and monoline structure suggest a practical display face aimed at clear, assertive messaging with a vintage-industrial flavor.
In the sample text, the condensed proportions create a dark, even typographic texture and strong word shapes, especially in all caps. The slab serifs and blunt joins keep details from getting fussy, helping the design hold together in heavier settings and at display sizes where the narrowness becomes a defining feature.
