A tightly condensed serif with tall, narrow proportions and a disciplined vertical stress. Strokes stay largely even, but the design introduces crisp, beak-like serifs and wedge terminals that sharpen joins and corners. Curves are kept taut and slightly squared, giving bowls and shoulders a constrained, architectural feel. The rhythm is compact and upright, with firm baselines and a consistent, high-impact silhouette across letters and numerals.
This font performs best in short display settings such as posters, headlines, and packaging where condensed width is an advantage. Its narrow, high-impact forms also suit branding marks and signage that need to feel firm and prominent in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a vintage industrial flavor. Its compressed forms and sharp terminals create a serious, commanding voice that reads as mechanical and slightly theatrical—well suited to bold statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact measure, pairing condensed structure with crisp serif detailing for a distinctive, industrial-leaning display voice.
Counters are relatively tight for the width, reinforcing a dense color in lines of text. Numerals follow the same condensed logic with straightforward, sign-like construction, helping the set feel unified in display contexts.
