A compact slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off serifs and predominantly straight, vertical strokes. The design feels tightly set and economical, with relatively narrow letterforms, firm joins, and crisp, flat terminals that create a strong horizontal rhythm. Curves are controlled and slightly squarish (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls), while counters stay fairly open for the weight. Lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, short-to-moderate extenders, and a generally even, upright stance that reads cleanly in dense text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and poster typography where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and signage systems that need a robust slab-serif voice and consistent impact across letters and numerals.
The overall tone is firm and no-nonsense, with an industrial, print-forward character. Its bold presence and squared detailing evoke traditional display typography used for headlines, labeling, and utilitarian signage, conveying confidence and practicality rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, space-efficient slab-serif texture with dependable legibility and a distinctly sturdy, squared finish—optimized for attention-grabbing editorial and practical display use.
The heavy slabs and condensed proportions create a pronounced vertical texture, especially in all-caps settings. Numerals and punctuation carry the same squared, sturdy construction, supporting consistent color across mixed text and figures.
