A condensed, monolinear slab serif with a strongly rectilinear construction. Strokes are low-contrast and end in flat, square-cut terminals and slabs, producing crisp corners and a slightly mechanical rhythm. Counters are narrow and mostly vertical-sided, with rounded forms (like O/C) rendered as softened rectangles rather than true ovals. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact apertures, while capitals are tall and tightly proportioned, keeping a consistent, column-like texture in paragraphs.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of copy, and space-constrained settings where a condensed footprint is useful. It works well for posters, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, no-nonsense slab serif voice, especially when a structured, vertical rhythm is desired.
The overall tone feels industrial and functional, with a subtle vintage sign-painter or typewriter-adjacent severity. Its strict geometry and tight width convey efficiency and firmness rather than warmth, giving text a disciplined, poster-like presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, legible slab serif with a deliberately squared, engineered silhouette. Its narrow proportions and flat terminals suggest an intention toward economical width and strong graphic impact in display and titling contexts.
The design leans on repeated vertical stems and squared bowls, creating a steady, striped texture at text sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same straight-sided, squared-off logic, reinforcing a consistent, engineered feel across the set.
