A condensed slab-serif with heavy, even strokes and pronounced rectangular serifs. The letterforms are tall and narrow with tight internal counters, giving a dense vertical rhythm and strong columnar texture in text. Terminals and slabs resolve with mostly flat, squared-off cuts, while curves (C, G, O, S) remain compact and controlled. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall caps, and a generally utilitarian, punchy construction that stays consistent across the set.
Best suited to display settings where condensed width and strong slabs can deliver maximum impact—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, and packaging labels. It can also work for short editorial callouts or deck copy where a firm, vintage-industrial tone is desired.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, with a distinctly retro, poster-driven flavor reminiscent of wood type and industrial stamping. Its compressed proportions and blocky slabs communicate urgency and confidence, leaning more toward impact and character than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, high-impact slab serif for attention-grabbing typography, balancing legibility with a bold, utilitarian personality. Its squared serifs and controlled curves suggest a focus on sturdy presence and efficient space use in display composition.
In the sample text, the dense color and narrow widths create strong emphasis and a slightly compressed, headline-like cadence. The numerals share the same stout, squared detailing, supporting a consistent, sign-ready look across alphanumerics.
