A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and largely even stroke weight, producing a firm, blocklike silhouette. The capitals are tall and narrow with compact bowls and tight interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with similarly compressed proportions. Terminals are blunt and rectilinear, and the serifs read as strong brackets or slabs that reinforce a vertical, columnar rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed structure with simple, assertive forms that maintain consistent darkness across a line.
Well suited to headlines, poster typography, signage, and packaging where a condensed, high-impact presence is needed. It also works for editorial display settings such as section openers or pull quotes, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, combining a vintage display feel with a no-nonsense, industrial confidence. Its narrow build and heavy presence create a commanding voice suited to bold statements and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using strong slab serifs and squared details to create a clear, authoritative display voice. Its consistent stroke behavior and compact proportions suggest an emphasis on legibility at display sizes and a bold, structured texture in composition.
Because of the compact width and dense color, the face builds strong vertical rhythm and can feel tight in longer runs; it visually excels when given breathing room through generous tracking and leading. The distinctive slabs and squared terminals create a crisp, stamped look that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
