A condensed slab-serif design with firm, square-cut serifs and mostly even stroke weight. The letterforms are tall and compact, with tight interior counters and a strongly vertical rhythm that reads clean and steady. Terminals and joins are crisp and mechanical, while the serifs are blocky and prominent without becoming overly heavy. Curves (like C, G, O, and S) stay controlled and slightly squared in feel, giving the face a structured, engineered texture in both caps and lowercase.
This font is well suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited but strong letter presence is needed. It also fits editorial titling, posters, packaging labels, and signage systems that benefit from a condensed footprint and a durable, mechanical aesthetic.
The overall tone is practical and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling, typewriter-era clarity, and straightforward print utility. Its compact width and emphatic slab details add a stern, authoritative character that feels direct rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact slab-serif voice with dependable legibility and a distinctly functional, engineered feel. Its square serifs and controlled curves suggest a focus on clarity, consistency, and authoritative display in tight measures.
The uppercase set shows consistent, disciplined proportions and strong baseline presence, while the lowercase maintains a compact footprint with clear, sturdy stems. Numerals follow the same squared, robust logic, lending a cohesive, systematized look across alphanumerics.
