A condensed, block-driven slab serif with heavy, squared terminals and crisp, unbracketed joins. Curves are tightened into chamfered, near-octagonal bowls, giving letters like C, O, and G a faceted, engineered feel. Stems are sturdy and even, with minimal modulation; counters tend to be compact, and apertures are relatively narrow, reinforcing a dense, vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms stay straightforward and sturdy, with short, squared serifs and a practical, compressed footprint; numerals follow the same angular, sign-painterly construction.
Best suited to display settings where compact width and strong presence are assets: headlines, posters, labels, and bold signage. It can also support branding that aims for a rugged, traditional, or athletic voice, especially when space is limited horizontally.
The overall tone feels tough and workmanlike, with a vintage display attitude reminiscent of athletic lettering and old industrial or frontier-era printing. Its narrow, punchy silhouettes read as confident and no-nonsense, lending a sense of urgency and impact in headlines.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact slab serif that maintains a consistent, engineered geometry. By combining heavy slabs with chamfered curves, it targets attention-grabbing typography that feels sturdy and traditional while remaining space-efficient.
Distinctive chamfering at curves and corners creates a consistent ‘machined’ texture across both uppercase and lowercase. The strong horizontals and slab terminals produce clear word shapes at larger sizes, while the condensed width packs text tightly and amplifies verticality.
