A compact, vertically stressed serif with heavy, even strokes and tight internal counters. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often forming triangular terminals that give the outlines a beveled, chiseled feel. Curves are squared-off into rounded-rectangle bowls, and joins are crisp, producing a blocky rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, utilitarian build with short extenders and minimal modulation, while figures follow the same compressed, high-impact silhouette.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and bold typographic statements where compressed width and dense color help maximize impact. It can also work effectively for packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a vintage-industrial serif voice and crisp, angular detailing.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, blending a vintage poster sensibility with an industrial, stamped-lettering edge. Its angular terminals and compact proportions feel authoritative and slightly dramatic, suited to designs that want firmness more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint, using wedge serifs and squared forms to create a chiseled, display-forward texture. It prioritizes bold readability and a distinctive, poster-like personality over softness or long-form neutrality.
The face reads best when allowed to stay dark and solid; the tight apertures and dense counters create strong texture in paragraphs and an especially punchy presence in headlines. The distinctive wedge terminals add personality without relying on ornament, keeping the look decorative but still structured and systematic.
