A condensed, block-built slab serif with heavy, uniform strokes and flat, square-cut terminals. The letters are tall and tightly proportioned, with compact counters and broadly rectangular interior shapes that stay consistent across the set. Serifs read as integrated, blunt slabs rather than delicate additions, and joins and corners are kept crisp and geometric, giving the alphabet a carved, stamped look. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical rhythm and bold silhouette for strong consistency in mixed settings.
Best suited for headlines and short, high-impact copy where a compact footprint and strong silhouette are advantages. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and label-style graphics, and can also serve as a bold wordmark or titling face when a condensed, blocky slab look is desired.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly poster-driven, display personality. Its chunky slabs and narrow stance evoke vintage signage and utilitarian labeling, creating a confident, slightly rugged feel that reads as both retro and industrial.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space, combining a condensed structure with blunt slab details for immediate recognition. Its consistent, squared construction suggests a goal of evoking vintage display typography and sturdy signage aesthetics while maintaining a clear, repeatable rhythm across letters and numbers.
At larger sizes the squared shaping and tight internal space create a strong pattern on the line, while the dense counters and compressed width can make long passages feel heavy. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s verticality and weight, keeping a uniform texture across mixed-case text.
