A condensed slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and mostly unbracketed joins that give the letters a firm, built-up feel. Strokes stay relatively even with clear, straight-sided verticals and compact counters, producing a tight rhythm in text. Curves are controlled and slightly squared, and terminals tend to resolve in flat cuts. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, keeping lines dense and economical, while figures are narrow and upright with consistent, blocky proportions.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where a condensed footprint is useful and the slab-serif structure can add impact. It also fits packaging, labels, and mastheads that benefit from an industrial or heritage-leaning voice and a dense, uniform text color.
The overall tone is practical and assertive, combining a workmanlike, industrial sturdiness with a slightly vintage, letterpress-adjacent flavor. Its compressed stance and blunt details lend an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that reads as functional rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver space-efficient emphasis: a condensed slab serif that remains sturdy and highly legible, with square, decisive finishing for a strong typographic presence in display and short text settings.
The font maintains strong vertical emphasis and a consistent texture across mixed case, helping it hold together in long lines. The squared detailing and condensed width make it visually efficient, though the compact counters suggest it will feel bolder and more insistent as sizes get smaller.
