A compact slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and a generally blocky, even-weight stroke. The design shows pronounced bracketing where serifs meet stems, helping the letters feel sturdy rather than sharp. Counters are relatively tight and the curves (C, G, O) stay controlled and slightly squared-off in spirit, producing a dense, poster-friendly texture. Lowercase forms are straightforward and utilitarian, with a single-storey a and g and short, firm terminals; overall spacing and sidebearings read economical, emphasizing a compact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where a dense, assertive texture is desirable. It can work well for packaging, labels, and signage that call for a robust, old-school slab-serif voice, and for editorial display typography where a grounded, industrial accent is needed.
The tone is tough and practical, with a workmanlike, vintage-industrial flavor. It feels confident and grounded—more “built” than “drawn”—and communicates reliability and grit rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact slab-serif for display use, balancing strong rectangular serifs with slight bracketing to keep the forms readable and cohesive. Its consistent stroke behavior and tight proportions suggest a focus on bold communication in space-efficient layouts.
The numerals are bold and simple, matching the letters’ slab structure and maintaining strong presence at display sizes. The overall color is dark and consistent, making the font feel solid on the page, especially in all-caps settings.
