A condensed slab-serif with firm, square-ended serifs and mostly unbracketed joins that give the forms a machined, stamped look. Strokes read largely even, with strong verticals and compact proportions that keep letters tight and economical. Curves are controlled and slightly squared-off in places, and the overall texture is dark and steady, with crisp terminals and consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short to medium text where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful. It works especially well in editorial layouts, posters, packaging, and signage that benefit from a firm, structured slab-serif texture.
The font conveys a no-nonsense, workmanlike tone—practical, slightly retro, and mechanically precise. Its compact rhythm and blocky serifs lend an authoritative, editorial voice that can feel both industrial and classic.
Likely designed to provide a space-efficient slab-serif with a bold, squared terminal language, combining readability with a distinctly mechanical, vintage-leaning character for display and editorial settings.
Uppercase shapes are sturdy and narrow, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a straightforward, legible build. Numerals appear robust and traditional in construction, matching the same square-serif logic for a cohesive, text-ready palette.
