A compact slab-serif with heavy, square-ended serifs and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with a strong vertical stress and a slightly condensed overall footprint, giving lines a dense, even color. Serifs are blunt and unbracketed, with flat terminals and crisp corners that emphasize a blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall rhythm feels firm and regular, reading well in both caps and lowercase with clear, traditional structures.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong, condensed slab presence is desired. It works well on posters, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from high visual impact and a sturdy, traditional voice. In editorial layouts, it can anchor titles and callouts with a bold, print-centric feel.
The tone is forceful and workmanlike, with an old-school, print-forward presence. Its heavy slabs and compact set evoke signage, headlines, and utilitarian labeling, projecting confidence and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with compact proportions and flat, square finishing, prioritizing punch and legibility at display sizes while maintaining familiar, classic letter constructions.
Numerals are weighty and straightforward, matching the squared serif treatment for consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. In the sample text, the dense spacing and dark typographic color create strong emphasis, especially at larger sizes.
