A compact slab-serif with heavy, square-cut serifs and blunt terminals that create a strong, blocky silhouette. Strokes read largely even in weight, with minimal modulation and firm right-angle joins, giving the letterforms a carved, mechanical regularity. Counters are relatively small and enclosed, while shoulders and bowls stay tight and controlled, producing a dense texture in text. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy construction and pronounced slab detailing, emphasizing a steady horizontal rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and display typography where its sturdy slabs and compact proportions can carry impact. It can also work for packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from an industrial, vintage-leaning presence, especially when set with comfortable leading and tracking.
The overall tone is firm and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial flavor that feels dependable and assertive. Its dense color and squared details suggest a no-nonsense voice suited to practical messaging, with a slightly vintage, poster-like confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient slab-serif voice with squared, robust details and a consistent, mechanical rhythm. It prioritizes punch and stability over delicacy, aiming for clear visual authority in display and branding contexts.
In longer passages the tight counters and heavy serifs create a dark, compact typographic color, so it tends to read best with generous size or spacing. The squared serifs and flat terminals stay consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a uniform, structured cadence.
