A compact, condensed slab-serif with heavy, block-like terminals and square, unbracketed serifs that read as crisp rectangular feet and caps. Strokes stay broadly even in weight, giving the forms a sturdy, low-modulation texture, while counters are relatively tight and enclosed for a dense, ink-rich silhouette. The design maintains a consistent vertical posture with sturdy joins and blunt finishing, creating a strong rhythm in all-caps and a firm, upright lowercase with short extenders and a compact footprint.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters—headlines, posters, event graphics, signage, and bold packaging or label work. It can also serve as a strong branding typeface for marks and short statements where a condensed, industrial slab-seriffed voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking utilitarian signage and classic poster typography. Its dense color and squared details feel confident, no-nonsense, and slightly nostalgic, lending a vintage-industrial character without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, using sturdy slab terminals and a compact structure to produce a commanding, poster-ready texture. Its straightforward construction prioritizes clarity and authority over delicate detail.
In the sample text, the font produces a dark, continuous typographic color with emphatic word shapes and clear, punchy punctuation. The condensed proportions help fit longer headlines into narrow spaces, while the slab details remain prominent at display sizes.
