A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and a compact overall footprint. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation while keeping a firm, mechanical edge, with mostly straight-sided stems and squared-off terminals. Serifs read as bold and supportive, creating strong horizontal accents, and the counters are tight but clean, helping maintain clarity at narrow widths. Overall spacing and rhythm feel disciplined and vertical, lending the face a dense, economical texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a condensed measure and strong typographic color are desirable. It can also work effectively for posters, packaging, and signage that benefits from a compact, sturdy slab-serif voice, while remaining readable in short text passages.
The tone is utilitarian and authoritative, evoking workmanlike print and vintage editorial typography. Its compact proportions and heavy serifs add a slightly industrial, poster-ready flavor while still feeling suited to serious reading contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving slab-serif with pronounced serifs and a firm, print-forward presence. The narrow build and strong horizontals suggest an aim toward impactful titling and economical setting without sacrificing a traditional serif structure.
Capitals appear tall and imposing relative to width, producing a strong headline presence. The numerals share the same compact, sturdy construction, reinforcing consistency across display and text use. The sample paragraphs show a dark, confident color on the page, especially in tightly set lines.
