A condensed slab serif with sturdy, unbracketed rectangular serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are tall and compact, with tight sidebearings and a steady vertical rhythm. Terminals and joins stay crisp and squared-off, while counters are relatively narrow, giving the face a compact, economical texture. Numerals and capitals share the same upright, structured stance, producing a consistent, grid-friendly color in text.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and short to mid-length editorial setting where a condensed footprint is useful. The firm slabs and compact proportions also suit posters, packaging labels, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, engineered feel.
The overall tone feels practical and workmanlike, with a subtle retro, typewriter-adjacent flavor. Its condensed build and squared serifs create an industrial, no-nonsense voice that reads as confident and functional rather than decorative.
The face appears designed to deliver a compact, space-saving serif voice with strong structure and clear, squared detailing. Its emphasis on consistency and sturdy terminals suggests an intention toward practical display and readable text in tight columns.
The design leans on strong vertical stems and simplified curves, which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes while keeping a dense typographic color. The slab serifs are prominent enough to add character without introducing soft, calligraphic modulation.
