A condensed slab serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The design leans strongly vertical, with compact proportions, tight interior counters, and a rhythmic, poster-like density in text. Serifs are blunt and minimally bracketed, giving terminals a squared, engineered feel, while curves (as in C, O, S) remain firm and controlled rather than flowing. Overall spacing and letterfit read compact, reinforcing a narrow, punchy texture.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where a dense, condensed footprint is useful—posters, packaging, labels, and signage. The strong slab serifs and uniform weight help it hold up in high-contrast, single-color applications and give titles a firm, industrial presence.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, evoking printed ephemera and practical labeling where strength and clarity matter more than delicacy. Its compact stance and sturdy slabs bring an industrial, slightly retro voice that feels at home in bold headlines and functional display copy.
The design appears intended as a practical, condensed slab for space-efficient emphasis—delivering strong impact, clear structure, and a consistent, print-ready texture without ornamental complexity.
Uppercase forms appear tall and tightly drawn, with emphatic vertical stems; lowercase maintains a straightforward, no-nonsense construction that keeps word shapes crisp. Numerals match the same sturdy, squared-off logic, supporting a consistent typographic color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
